Who is the Altitude Calculator in Excel for?
The Altitude Calculator in Excel works tremendously well for somebody who needs to generate the Altitudes for a list of addresses. It makes generating those Altitudes a breeze.
Altitudes, or elevation data, can be valuable in various business applications, particularly in industries that rely on geographic, environmental, or logistical factors. Here are several ways businesses use altitude data:
1. Logistics and Transportation:
- Route Optimization: Altitude data is used to calculate the most efficient routes for transportation, particularly in mountainous or hilly regions. Knowing the elevation helps predict fuel consumption, wear and tear on vehicles, and transit times.
- Drone Delivery: For businesses using drones, altitude data is critical for flight path planning, especially to avoid obstacles or ensure compliance with aviation regulations.
- Freight and Aviation: In aviation, knowing altitude differences is essential for safe flight path planning, as well as determining the most fuel-efficient cruising altitudes.
2. Construction and Real Estate:
- Land Assessment: In construction, altitude data is used to evaluate potential building sites, particularly in terms of drainage, foundation stability, and the need for grading.
- Zoning and Planning: Real estate developers use elevation data to assess flood risk, determine views from a property, or comply with zoning regulations in hilly or mountainous areas.
- Design Considerations: Altitude data helps architects and planners consider the effects of elevation on building design, such as the impact on HVAC systems or energy efficiency.
3. Agriculture:
- Crop Management: Farmers use altitude data to assess the suitability of land for various crops. Different elevations can impact temperature, rainfall, and soil drainage, which in turn affects crop yield.
- Irrigation Planning: Elevation data can help design efficient irrigation systems by accounting for gravity and water flow.
- Precision Farming: Altitude data helps in precision agriculture, where detailed elevation maps allow for optimized planting, harvesting, and resource allocation.
4. Tourism and Hospitality:
- Destination Planning: Travel and tourism companies use altitude data to highlight destinations with scenic views, ski resorts, or hiking trails. High-altitude locations often attract tourists seeking unique experiences.
- Adventure Tourism: Altitude is crucial for businesses offering activities like mountaineering, skiing, and paragliding, where terrain elevation impacts the level of difficulty and safety.
5. Telecommunications:
- Network Planning: Telecom companies use altitude data to determine the placement of towers and antennas, ensuring optimal coverage by accounting for variations in terrain that might block signals.
- Signal Optimization: Knowing the elevation of certain areas helps optimize radio, television, and mobile signal propagation.
6. Energy and Utilities:
- Wind and Solar Energy: Altitude plays a significant role in assessing potential sites for wind farms or solar panels, as higher altitudes may have stronger winds or more exposure to sunlight.
- Hydroelectric Power: Businesses in the energy sector use altitude data to assess potential sites for hydroelectric dams, as the difference in elevation directly affects the potential energy generated by water flow.
7. Retail and Consumer Products:
- Climate and Market Analysis: For some products, especially outdoor gear, clothing, or sports equipment, altitude can affect consumer demand. For example, businesses in high-altitude regions may stock products suited for colder temperatures or specialized equipment for high-altitude activities.
8. Environmental and Risk Management:
- Flood Risk Assessment: Insurance companies and environmental agencies use altitude data to assess flood risks, especially in areas where lower elevations are prone to water accumulation.
- Disaster Response: Altitude data is crucial for planning responses to natural disasters, such as landslides, flooding, or avalanches, where elevation changes significantly impact risk levels.
9. Mining and Resource Extraction:
- Site Evaluation: Altitude data is used in mining to identify areas where valuable minerals might be concentrated, as well as to assess the practicality of extraction operations.
- Slope Stability Analysis: In mining and resource extraction, knowing the elevation of a terrain helps in analyzing slope stability and mitigating the risks of landslides or collapses.
10. Mapping and GIS (Geographic Information Systems):
- Topographical Mapping: Businesses involved in geographic data analysis, urban planning, or environmental monitoring often use altitude to create detailed topographical maps. These maps are essential for any industry that requires an understanding of terrain features.
In summary, altitude data is used in businesses to optimize logistics, plan construction, manage resources, improve telecommunications, assess risk, and enhance overall operational efficiency in areas affected by geographic elevation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Does this software work on Mac, or just PC?
While the Excel Long/Lat Generator works on some version of Mac Computers, I currently do not offer support for Macs. As Macs use different VBA libraries, that can cause some conflicts with some of the functions in this tool.
-
Is this a one time fee, or ongoing?
You will only pay once for this software. This will provide upgrades and live support via zoom if needed for one year. However the software should serve your needs for years to come.
-
Do I need a Google Maps API Key? What is a Google Maps API key?
The Altitude Calculator in Excel uses the Google Maps Platform to give you extremely accurate data. As such you will need to setup a google maps account. It takes 5 minutes to setup and it is free of charge. You can view the instructions on how to setup the google maps api key in this page. I have also created a video where it shows step by step how to setup the api key by clicking in this youtube video.
-
Is the Google Maps API key free? Do I have to pay for my calculations?
The Google Maps API key is free to get. However, keep in mind Google does require you to setup an account. You can run up to 40,000 calculations every calendar month free of charge. If you go over the 40,000 calculations Google charges an a-la-carte fee of 5 USD/1000 queries/calculations. More information on Google Maps API Pricing can be fond in this link.
-
Can I use Addresses or Zip codes? What format should my input data be?
The Altitude Calculator in Excel is extremely forgiving when it comes to what data you can use/enter. You may enter a combination of full addresses, zip codes, City/State or even Geocodes (Long/latitude).
So “84122”, “ 123 Main, Park City, UT, 84101” or “Park City, UT” are all acceptable addresses. You can also mix and match your different address types. Obviously the more complete the address, the better ( more accurate) results you will receive.
-
Can the Altitude Calculator in Excel be used for non-US addresses? Can I enter, say Canadian or British Zip Codes? Or an Address in South Africa?
Absolutely. The tool works with addresses from all over the world.
-
What is the maximum number of calculations I can perform at any one single run?
The Altitude Calculator in Excel is meant to help you by generating Altitudes for large sets of addresses. However keep in mind that the calculation is at the rate of about 3-5 calculations per second. So a 200,000 calculations data set would not be practical as it would take quite a long time. In addition, be aware of the costs associated with running such a large number of address sets. Refer to the API Setup Page for more information, but as to current time google allows for 40,000 calculations monthly free of charge. (via a 200 USD recurring monthly credit)
You will need a Google Maps API to use this tool!
A few more things regarding the Google Maps API Key.
You don't need to be a developer to setup a google maps api key. It takes about 5 minutes, and it is a simple as setting up an account with Google.
- The Google Maps API Key is free to setup. It doesn't cost anything.
- You will get up to 40,000 calculations free of charge. (Google allows for a 200 dollar credit for every calendar month).
- If you need more than 40,000 calculations in a calendar month, google charges an a-la-carte fee of 5 USD/1000 calculations.
- For most of my clients that use this tool, 40,000 calculations are more than enough.
- You will need to setup a billing account with Google, although you will not be charged unless you go over the 40,000 calculations per month.
- If you have a large number of calculations, (more than 40,000) contact me. I might be able to help.
