So far this is the most accurate of the altitude maps. My house had a minimum height above sea level to meet code and it was set at 11ft above sea level. This map returned 11.4ft! That's about as dead on as it gets!

how can I give real data to the system? it's very off in my location
On 5th October 2023

If I enter the coordinates of Isla de los Lobos -31.95027,-71.52960 - should be around sea level - the result is 875.7 m at -30.75467,-70.90055 Bug? Nice tool though.

Seems to work fine on 12 September, 2023. Checked it's accuracy for locations I knew the elevation of and it is accurate. Tapped on locations slightly higher than those I knew and the results made sense. I appreciate having access to this tool.

Useful, it would be better if we can download the elevation to created the elevation graph from 1st to last point that we selected.
