title: Get the elevation from a point without viewing Google Maps
body: <p>I have readed <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/elevation" rel="nofollow">the API for elevation</a> for Google Maps and what I can understands I must have the map visible to get the elevation for a point (coordinates). But almost nothing is impossible with JavaScript so I wonder now, is it possible to get the elevation from a point without viewing the map?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
