Explain to me Slipball how you are going to get an accurate enroute altimeter setting from the chart elevation values???

The only thing you can do if you don't have a radio is set to the field elevation of the departure airfield.

Once you are airborne, you cannot look at an arrival airfield elevation to glean any useful current altimeter information.
