Slope alpha angles

Andreea Gabor
I’d loge to see a feature where we can get slope alpha angles displayed! Or if not a map overlay, a tool similar to the line tool where you could highlight a slope and ask it to calculate the alpha angle for that slope. It would be helpful to have this info to be able to make better decisions when traveling across terrain with overhead hazards/nearby slopes and be able to take into account potential natural avalanche runout zones more accurately.

    This would be very helpful to quickly plan and track SAR missions instead of manually calculating alpha angles along potential routes. OnX has "Avalanche Runout Simulator"
