This page is historical as of 2012. vCard4 introduced an 'altitude' component to its GEO property which is now incorporated in h-card and h-geo. - Tantek 18:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
<entry-title> Geo Elevation </entry-title> 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.
