Accuracy

How accurate is this?

26 m low This 3D map reads 2,007 m at the summit; the official height is 2,033 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 34 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,033 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,007 m	-26 m
Copernicus GLO-90	1,999 m	-34 m
