Thanks for your reply. I have a suggestion for some spot heights which are not shown, if they happen to be near an airport with an iAP, then superimpose the IAP plate. I found that handy when flying over Gloster last week in poor weather so as to at least avoid the obstacles shown on the IAP to gain extra clearance over the hills to the south. One can do this at the planning stage also.

Actually since this thread was started, we did redo our spot heights and now feature many more, which are shown depending on your zoom level.

Copying them from any specific paper chart is not something we would do, however.

Thanks for your reply and for adding more spot heights.

One other related matter with terrain height is that at the planning stage sometimes height is given and sometimes not when one asks "what's here"- can this be fixed without too much trouble? Obviously one could plan a route and simulate flying it but a quick "what's here" would be handy. No urgency on this of course.
