Comments For This Page

Can anyone tell how elevation is defined here? I live in a coastal community and wish to know whether it's measured from Mean Lower Low Water(MLLW)or some other point of reference.

Why does a lower point show a higher reading.

Is it working... can't tell. Inconsistent... maybe; really unsure. One minute I'm below sea level by 5000 now I'm above by 6... same property?

Used it today 17th September, worked perfect for me, Many Thanks

I have massively contradictory information (650' off) from several sources, including Google! The meter output seems much more likely! And just a hint, Sea level is generally stated in feet.

good relative measure but most readings are around 3 feet to low. i have an elevation certificate that shows over 9ft. and this app shows around 6.

Due to recent weather events the elevation service has been getting a lot of traffic. We only have a set quota of free usage before there is a cost to provide it - which isn't practical for a free-to-use website.
The usage quotas are reset every day at midnight West Coast time so if you get on early in the day (USA time) it should work.
Another option is to use our iOS app that has an elevation finder with a separate quota that isn't yet getting max-ed out. See : https://itunes.apple.com/app/free-map-tools/id1075853833?mt=8.

Worked fine for me at 8:30 am
By Don on 10th September 2017

Worked GREAT at 6 am, September 10, 2017-checking Naples elevation of Em & friends due to Irma. Other comments had trouble likely due to site traffic.

"Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details." means only one thing ... you want us to buy instead of giving away a cheap thrill. Or, instead of giving valuable info necessary to survive a hurricane.

You should open up your quota when you have a massive natural disaster happening!
