Services
The Azure Maps Elevation Service, now in general availability, provides pole to pole coverage with <4M absolute and <2m relative accuracy. The elevation data represents a digital terrain model (DTM), man-made entities (e.g., buildings) are artificially flattened, and elevation is measured to the ground surface.
The [API supports both GET/POST](https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/maps/elevation) operations and provides three modes of obtaining elevation information:
* Elevation for a given point or set of points.
* Elevation at specified intervals within a given boundary.
* Elevation along a given path.
To get started with Azure Maps and Azure Maps Elevation, please go to the [Azure Maps documentation](https://aka.ms/AzureMapsDocs) and, if you don’t have one already, create an [Azure Maps account](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Maps) for free.
