it's giving me a negative value, but I am on a mountain.

I am measuring elevation around ZIP 51235. It is giving me the same elevation of 389.0 meters everywhere I click, even areas I know there are hills or valleys. Something is messed up with the program.

Buddy, it's the river floor.
By Free Map Tools on 19th March 2020

when I clicked on the river, it has shown the elevation as -2, is this referring to the elevation of river floor or the water surface of the river ?

How often do you update your satellite imagery? When was this imagery taken?
By Lexy on 12th March 2020

The elevation is from mean sea level.
By Free Map Tools on 12th March 2020

What is the definition of sea level? is it chart datum or a mean of tidal heights?

Used this program to setup a professional weather station. The only other information that I needed was the magnetic deviation for my location so that I could set the wind direction instrument. Great job !!

Elevation appears to be wrong. My new home in a coastal town is showing 12286.7 feet above sea level. I don't think that is correct.

good

Works very well for Pershore indeed, it shows what we already new about the defences put in (incomplete). Needs to be used with precision checking.

So, so wrong, At least a hundred metres out based on known data.
