Description:

The Elevation Query Web Service returns the elevation in feet or meters for a specific latitutde/longitude (WGS 1984) point from the USGS Seamless Elevation datasets hosted at EROS. The elevation values returned default to the best-available data source available at the specified point. Alternately, this service may return the value from a specified data source, or from all data sources. If unable to find data at the requested point, this service returns an extremely large, negative value (-1.79769313486231E+308). View the detailed Elevation Service Methods description for more information on the methods and parameters used in this service.

Detailed Explanation

•   connect time: milliseconds until connection with the service could be established
•   response time: milliseconds until response was completely received
•   avg. connect time: avg time in milliseconds until connection with the service could be established (across all service)
•   avg. response time: avg time in milliseconds until response was received (across all service)
• The coloring of the lower bar in the graph indicates certain properties of the response during a particular availability check.
•   OK: We verified that the server correctly implements the SOAP protocol, however this does not mean that we have verified its actual functionality (such as a weather service).
•   read timeout: the server took more then 20 seconds to send its response.
•   malformed response: the server did not respond according to the SOAP protocol specification. Please not that the service still might provide some functionality, but it is likely that there exists some problem.
•   not found: the server responded with a 404 message indicating that the resource requested is not available.
