'''This page is historical as of 2012. [[vCard4]] introduced an 'altitude' component (via RFC 5870) to its GEO property which is now incorporated in [[h-card]] and [[h-geo]].''' - [[User:Tantek|Tantek]] 18:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)


{{DISPLAYTITLE: Geo Elevation }}
An exploration of adding elevation (altitude) information to geo data.

== The Problem ==
Publishers of elevation information on the web could make additional use of this information (e.g. in Google Earth) with a standard format.

Altitude data in waypoints is particularly used in aviation.

== Real-World Examples ==
*See [[geo-elevation-examples]]

==Issues==
*Metric (ISO) measurements, or feet/ yards/ whatever?
**See [[measure]]
