WU reporting wrong elevation

(1/1)

TRC1961:
Hello,
Just got my new station set up at at WU PWS.
https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/ga/alto/KGAALTO25

It's reporting my KGAALTO25 location at 405 ft! I totally know that's wrong.
Just did a search at different places and got:
1,159
1,310.6
1,384.7
1,312
1,220.73
Town of Alto is at 1,339′

I do not see or can find a place in my profile where I can correct it!
WU gave me this elevation when I created my account.
Emailed support...Our goal is to respond to all questions and concerns but due to volume we may not be able to answer all inquiries....But if your response is delayed by more than 90 days, it will open a new case.
Soooo any help on this would be great  [tup]
Thanks

Hi,
It looks like a metric vs imperial input issue.
405 meters = 1328 feet.

Enjoy,
Paul

Vasco:
Are you sure they are reporting in feet?

405 metres = 1329 feet.

Sorry, crossed with @PaulMy. . . but they report my station (IEDINBUR98) in metres.

EDIT: I see they show Alto, GA at 123m = 404 ft  :?

TRC1961:
Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply's.
Yes, this is correct!
I found the setting in the DEVICE settings and set it to the correct feet.
Saved the setting, but still showing up wrong on the dashboard!
That was 10 mins ago.
Maybe takes a while to update? First time on WU.

TRC1961:
Again...thanks all for the quick help [tup]
Dashboard is reporting correct elevation.

Used this site to use CORRECT elevation:
https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/map-wzcz/Georgia/?center=34.4647%2C-83.55451&zoom=18&base=5&popup=34.46468%2C-83.55426

Was able to click right on my house!!! \:D/
