Your current elevation based on your device's location.
What is Elevation?
Elevation also means altitude, and it means how high a place is above sea level. Sea level is used as a standard reference point for measuring altitude.
Why is Elevation Important?
It helps us in many areas, such as flying airplanes, building buildings, forecasting the weather, hiking, mountaineering, etc. It can affect temperature, plant growth, and even our ability to breathe at high altitudes.
How is Elevation Measured?
In the past, barometers measured elevation using air pressure. Today, modern devices like this use your device's GPS to find your location, then combine it with a detailed 3D map of the Earth's surface, called a digital elevation model, or DEM to find your altitude above sea level.
