Difference between Geodetic datum and Spot height

Geodetic datum vs. Spot height

A geodetic datum or geodetic system is a coordinate system, and a set of reference points, used to locate places on the Earth (or similar objects). A spot height is an exact point on a map with an elevation recorded beside it that represents its height above a given datum.

Similarities between Geodetic datum and Spot height

Geodetic datum and Spot height have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Elevation, Map, Ordnance datum, Surveying.

Elevation

The elevation of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface (see Geodetic datum § Vertical datum).
