Accuracy

How accurate is this?

21 m low This 3D map reads 981 m at the summit; the official height is 1,002 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 36 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	1,002 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	981 m	-21 m
Copernicus GLO-90	966 m	-36 m
