Elevation tools
Mad mapler,
I love the idea of elevation tools on Google Earth I came up with the idea on my own before you suggested. However originally I tried as well as after you suggested I tried and I cant find the elevation tools. Please guide me. Unfortunately I'm not rich nor was I sure this was a hobby for me or I would have built the biggest sugar shack on the continent. No building permit or codes needed for a yard barn.
2017:150 taps
Hauled by me my dog and a Yamaha. Blaster, no buckets next year.
Trees sucked most the seasons sap back up. Live and learn.
14 gallons syrup.
2016: New 10x16' sugar shack, new leader 2x4 evaporator
150+ taps gravity to buckets=13 gal. Burnt roof off shack lost 3-4 gallons of syrup in pan and draw off pale didn't eat fire extinguisher
IH 584 sap hauler
2015: Homemade oil tank arch with 3 steam table pans
35 taps gravity to buckets=1 gal.
1 human sap hauler
It's not a tool with an icon. Look at the lower right corner of the screen while you scroll around the map and you'll see the elevation numbers changing. It's pretty darned accurate. The icon at the top of the screen that resembles an upright ruler is the distance measure.

This is what I used to map out my woods. Mapped out two different locations and ran lines for 1050 taps expanding to 3000 some day.
I liked it for figuring out how many feet of mainline I needed to buy.

Type your zip in find your sugar bush.
Set it to satellite view.
Turn the elevation graph on.
Play around for a couple hrs/days.

I'm no dummy and I have the latest version so disappointed. Here's a pic of what I see

Is that a IPhone screen? Mine is loaded into my computer. Pretty sure that's the difference. I have the latest version as well however, it's been the way I described it for years. There's no room for all the tools on that screen.
