Accuracy

How accurate is this?

15 m low This 3D map reads 296 m at the summit; the official height is 311 m.

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

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	311 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	296 m	-15 m
Copernicus GLO-90	281 m	-30 m
