Accuracy

How accurate is this?

20 m low This 3D map reads 903 m at the summit; the official height is 923 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 37 m.

Official height (Wikidata)	923 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	903 m	-20 m
