Retrieving elevation

Hello,

The CreateLocation component says that :

timeZone and elevation are always set to "0" as they do not affect Gismo components

How can i get the elevation value then ?

Regards

Hi Jean-Louis,

Can you please attach your definition and point out for which exact location do you want to calculate the real life elevation?

Thank you for the attached file.
One needs to generate the actual terrain in order to determine the elevation of the specific location. Check the attached file below.

By the way, the "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" input for the "Gismo Gismo" component is not needed.
"Gismo Gismo" component checks for a couple of well know places where MapWinGIS might be installed and this is one of them. Only if you installed the MapWinGIS application to some unusual place, like "C:\JeanLouis programs\MapWinGIS", then you need to specify this folder path to the mapFolder_ input.

Do not hesitate to ask anything further, related with this issue or any other Gismo issue.
