@thomasweibel @spatialists @OpendataCH @geomob @clolsonus @JensWiesehahn @paulfoerster Well, it seems more accurate than my watch which, despite having *3* GPS bands and a barometer, has me at 6m *below* sea level. 😅

@mez @thomasweibel @spatialists @OpendataCH @geomob @clolsonus @JensWiesehahn Using the barometer to measure elevation is extremely inaccurate. Since mostly accurate data from all over the world is available, I wonder why big tech hasn’t implemented that (yet). They have those data.

@mez @thomasweibel Fun fact: Approximately one third of the Netherlands is below sea level.
