elevation
OBS: This process has been deprecated.
Use the REST API https://ws.geonorge.no/hoydedata/v1/ instead.
The elevation process returns the elevation and place name of a given
point in a given coordinate system.
The elevation is calculated by
interpolation in a 1m network of isometric lines in populated areas (with
FKB coverage), and in a 20m network in other areas. It also returns the
depth if the given point is in the ocean and close to the coast.
The depth is calculated by interpolation in a 10m network of isometric
lines (2 to 5 meters in shallow water close to the coast). This data is
not to be used for navigational purposes.
elevationXML
elevationXML
The elevationXML process returns a terrain and height profile in the
form of a series of XML-encoded data points.
It is calculated by interpolation in a 1m network of isometric lines in
populated areas (with FKB coverage), and
in a 20m network in other areas.
Shows distance in kilometers.
elevationChart
elevationChart
The elevationChart process returns a terrain and height profile in the
form of a chart (png image file).
It is calculated by interpolation in a 1m network of isometric lines in
populated areas (with FKB coverage), and in a 20m network in other areas.
Shows distance in kilometers.
elevationJSON
elevationJSON
The elevationJSON process returns a terrain and height profile in the
form of a series of JSON-encoded data points.
It is calculated by interpolation in a 1m network of isometric lines in
populated areas (with FKB coverage), and in a 20m network in other areas.
Shows distance in kilometers.
