accurate elevation and coords (global volcanism program not precise enough)

Well I was trying to create stubs for all the volcanoes mentioned as part of the Bidu volcanic complex on the global volcanism program web page. I spent a long while and eventually found out where the 'bara ale' that GVP mentioned as part of the bidu volcanic complex stood -that was based on the springer images reference (a rather blurry set of free images) - I then went to wikimapia which showed that location was called Asavyo, looking then at Asavyo back on GVP it does describe the volcano as being one of 3 in a chain, and gives roughly the correct location and description, but checking closely using google maps (using the contours) I notice that the coordinates given by GVP were not hitting the highest point, also GVP gave a very vague "1200?m" as the height. The highest point according to google maps contours should be between 1320m and 1340m and wikimapia gave a height of 1324m so I took that as correct. I also picked a set of coordinates that fell within the highest contour line shown on google map (rather than the GVP or wikimapia coordinates that did not fall in that area). Hope that's clear, and perhaps GVP will update their website to reflect that. EdwardLane (talk) 10:47, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out, I was wondering how the elevation and coordinates had been determined. RedWolf (talk) 01:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
