Hillside Angel --> avalanche danger detection
Gathering feedback
I need the “hillside angel“. So when I click on a point on the map, I want
to know how steep the slope. That would be a great tool for the assessment
of avalanche danger in the mountains. It should be possible to compute it
on the contour lines and the distance between the contour lines very.
I like this idea 
"...when I click on a point on the map..."
?
a ponit is a point :)
maybe its possible when we can tap 2 points (from -> to)
..and we have offline / online data from this points.

See it a bit more mathematical, it`s pretty possible to calculate slope around a single point.

explain me please. maybe i`m thinking in the wrong way.

i know its old but. If you click a point that have elevation data, then its a straight forward calculation to find the steepest angle (or some other angle) between that point and the surrounding points, that way you get a modern slope-angle for avalanche terrain. This is now a map overlay in Locus - so this wish has been fulfilled.
But it would still be nice to choose to points and get info on the "line-of-sight" between these two points. To tell where the Sun or Moon will be over/below the horizon. Extremely interesting for fullmoon skiers as myself :) of course also avalaanche slope evaluation - runout zones and such...
