# elevation

The elevation of a location ([WGS 84](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System)). Values may be of the form 'NUMBER UNIT\_OF\_MEASUREMENT' (e.g., '1,000 m', '3,200 ft') while numbers alone should be assumed to be a value in meters.

## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [Number](https://schema.org.ai/Number) | Data type: Number. Usage guidelines: Use values from 0123456789 (Unicode 'DIGIT ZERO' (U+0030) to 'DIGIT NINE' (U+0039)) rather than superficially similar Unicode symbols.; Use '.' (Unicode 'FULL STOP' (U+002E)) rather than ',' to indicate a decimal point. Avoid using these symbols as a readability separator. |
| [Text](https://schema.org.ai/Text) | Data type: Text. |

## Used on Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [GeoCoordinates](https://schema.org.ai/GeoCoordinates) | The geographic coordinates of a place or event. |
| [GeoShape](https://schema.org.ai/GeoShape) | The geographic shape of a place. A GeoShape can be described using several properties whose values are based on latitude/longitude pairs. Either whitespace or commas can be used to separate latitude and longitude; whitespace should be used when writing a list of several such points. |
