 ====== How to work with elevation data in Locus? ======
 ----
-<wrap info>Concerns Locus Map Pro only</wrap>
 Elevation data are necessary for many aspects of work with Locus:
   * base of calculation of route **elevation gain** when [[manual:user_guide:tracks:planning|planning. ]]
   * definition of **elevation of [[manual:user_guide:points|point objects]]** (POIs, geocaches...)
-  * database for **[[manual:user_guide:maps_settings:objects|dynamic elevation tool]]** (displays elevation on the position of the map cursor)
+  * database for **[[manual:user_guide:maps_settings#dynamic_elevation|dynamic elevation tool]]** (displays elevation on the position of the map cursor)
-  * database for rendering **[[manual:user_guide:maps_settings:misc|terrain shading]]**
+  * database for rendering **[[manual:user_guide:maps_settings#map_shading|terrain shading]]**
   * filling elevation of imported **[[manual:user_guide:items|Map items]]** in case the file contains at least one route
   * **elevation of routes** calculated by [[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation:settings|external navigation engines]] (BRouter, YOURS, ..)

-Please do not confuse with **current altitude** that is obtained from GPS data together with values from the barometric pressure meter in your device (if applicable), [[manual:user_guide:tools:altitude|see more >>]]. Current altitude values are also used for calculating elevation gain in recorded tracks and are available also for Locus Map Free users.

 ==== Offline maps ====
 LoMaps and other offline maps from our map partners offered in [[manual:user_guide:locus_store:about|Locus Store]] in packages cover the whole World. **Each map package contains elevation data that can be downloaded separately for free:**\\ {{ :manual:faq:elevdata.png?nolink |}}

-  * **[[http://data.opendataportal.at/dataset/dtm-germany|Open Data Portal]]** - very accurate data obtained from LIDAR mapping missions - covering Austria, Luxembourg, Spain, Slovenia, Northern Italy and part of Germany. Resolution 3".
