Our elevation data comes from digital elevation models (DEMs) with typical accuracy of 5-10 meters vertically in most areas. Urban and well-mapped regions generally have higher accuracy than remote areas. The data is sourced from a combination of satellite measurements, aerial surveys, and ground-based observations.
Currently, this tool provides elevation data for individual points only. For measuring elevation along a path or creating elevation profiles, you can use our Distance Measurement Tool which includes elevation data along the measured path.
Elevation data might be unavailable or less accurate in certain regions due to limitations in the source data, particularly in remote areas, small islands, or regions with complex terrain. Additionally, some countries restrict the distribution of high-resolution elevation data for security reasons.
Our elevation measurements use the WGS84 EGM96 geoid as the vertical datum, which approximates mean sea level. This is the standard datum used by most GPS devices and mapping applications, making our elevation data compatible with most other geographic tools and datasets.
