On gaiagps.com, one click on the web map gives you elevation, weather, nearby trails, and more for that exact location.
Most planning questions start with a place. How high is it? What will the weather be up there? What trails get me there? On the Gaia GPS web app, you can answer all three of these questions without leaving the map. Watch the video tutorial below and learn how:

Click any point on the map, and a sidebar opens with the marked location click drawer, which includes:
- Elevation at that point
- Coordinates
- Weather, precipitation, and wind
- Nearby hikes

The marked location click drawer earns its keep in comparisons. Click your trailhead, high point, or camp, and pack accordingly for each destination. You can also click a trail to pull it up to learn more. Think of the drawer as a shortened Discover menu pinned to wherever you clicked.
