Success is to simplify complex problems and then do it.

horribly unusably inaccurate. it shows the elevation on top of a mountain that I know is fairly flat at 810.4 feet. then suddenly theres a fine line, which I know doesn't change in elevation more than 50 feet or so, that changes to 1266.4 feet. it also shows the top of the mountain, one spot in particular I know of, to be 15XX feet. at the bottom which I know to be right around 770 feet it shows the same exact height. if you go further from the mountain, at a fine line, it suddenly drops to 721.8 feet.

This information is incorrect. When you can visually see the difference in height but you have it as the same. I would recommend that you start over from scratch.

I've used this for a while and it was pretty accurate but the discrepancies in height are now substantial.

This site has faulty data. It's off for my location by 500 feet (too low).

46 ft. Excellent and confirmed at the city(47%u2019, Safety Harbor, Fl). Just out of highest Hurricane tidal surge. Saves quite a bit on insurance. Great sight.

Spot on great tool!

some is certainly messed up, it says my location is -99999.0ft, I'm quite sure I'm not in the centre of the Earth!

Accuracy is within 10 feet of actual, in my experience.
