# What Is My Altitude?

Your altitude is your height above mean sea level, usually expressed in meters or feet. This tool uses your GPS coordinates with a free elevation API to give you an accurate reading.

## Privacy

Your browser asks for permission before sharing your precise location. 
Reverse geocoding uses a server proxy that truncates your coordinates to 
approximately 100-meter precision before any logging. Your exact coordinates 
are not stored.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How is altitude calculated?

Altitude is calculated by querying a free elevation API with your GPS coordinates. The result is the height above mean sea level at that point.

### How accurate is altitude?

Elevation API data is accurate to about 5-30 meters in most regions, but can be less reliable in mountainous or urban areas.

### What is my location?

Your location is the place where your device is currently detected using browser location permission, GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, or network signals. This site shows it as both coordinates and a readable address.

### Can this website see my location automatically?

No. Your browser asks for permission before sharing precise location with the website. If you decline, only an approximate IP-based region is available.
