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.

Real-World Examples

Issues

  • Metric (ISO) measurements, or feet/ yards/ whatever?
