Accuracy

How accurate is this?

within 10 m This 3D map reads 4,995 m at the summit; the official height is 5,000 m.

A 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a few metres either way is normal.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	5,000 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,995 m	-5 m
