Point is not visible when we zoom near the surface about vts-browser-js HOT 4 CLOSED

There are two kinds of heights. One which is over ellipsoid and one which over geoid. In this case you are using map where are coordinates provided in navigational spacial system which has heights over ellipsoid. You can take advantage that current map has public spacial system with heights over geoid and convert height by following function:

var newCoords = map.convertCoordsFromPublicToNav([14.3836691, 50.0485568, 333]);

I have modified your example which now gives more accurate results. Final result is also depended on the precision of the point coordinates and on the precision of the terrain geometry:

Thank you very much David!
Indeed this method solves the problem of the height mismatch.
However if you run this method again with the same arguments then the result of the conversion is different for the height!?
We have created this demo:

You could check the console and notice the different values of height every time you click the custom button 'Clickme'.

Sorry, I forgot that function for conversion has second parameter which defines whether height is 'fix' or 'float'. Default mode is 'float' and height is computed from currently available data. Usually available data are not best match so more detailed data are loaded on the background. That is reason different values. Fixed function call:

var newCoords = map.convertCoordsFromPublicToNav([14.3836691, 50.0485568, 333], 'fix');

Thank you so much David!!
Now it is working as expected 👍 👍
