It's one of Caltopo's relatively unknown features, and it's quite useful for identifying peaks based on a photo and where you think the photo was taken from. I use it often, mostly to ID peaks in photos I use on TRs. Anyway, here's Capitol from the northwest at approximately 11,500' on the southwest ridge of Point 12,770: https://caltopo.com/view#ll=39.1608,-10 ... 3.4,129.81. Similar but ultimately quite a different view.
How do you get the View feature to show imagery like that?
In the upper right corner there's a dropdown with five options.

The option I have on that link is Wire Imagery, which combines a black outline of peaks with what I assume is satellite imagery that's somehow processed into 3D. A super useful feature. The "X feet up" drop down is just how far above the ground the viewpoint is. Keep in mind this is on the desktop Caltopo site, I haven't had much luck with View on a mobile browser and I don't think it's a part of the Caltopo app, at least on Android.
Thanks!
