Sea Level Elevation - These are the Steps to Find Out How Many Feet You are Above Sea Level Using the USGS National Map:

1) Click on the link below and type in your address in the search field at the top left-hand corner.

2) When you see your address appear in the box below click on it.

3) Your house will have a circle on top of it, make sure you slide the map so this circle above your house is towards the top of your screen.

4) In the top right hand corner you will see a green box with 3 horizontal lines in it, click it.

5) Icons will appear vertically down the right side of your screen, you need to click the very last one which is called "Spot Elevation," which is going to be difficult if you're doing this on a phone. You will need to click the X to get rid of the "Search Result" box at the bottom of your screen, then you will see an icon that looks like a + inside a square at the very bottom, this is the "Spot Elevation" icon, it's going to be mostly covered behind an opaque area of the map, but this is the button you need to click. So you have to try to tap on that very slim Green part of the icon at the top that is not behind the opaque area of the map. You will know if you have hit it successfully because a white box will pop up from the bottom of your screen that will say "Click on the map to retrieve elevation."

6) Once you have successfully clicked on the "Spot Elevation" icon, click on that circle that's above your house that should be located at the top of your screen if you followed step #3. Try to click in the middle of the circle as best as you can. Using a stylus helps a lot.

7) Once you have clicked in the middle of the circle as best as you can, a box will appear at the bottom of your screen called "Saved Elevation Points." It will show you a chart that lists your Latitude, Longitude, Feet & Meters. The number that is listed underneath "Feet" is how many feet you are above sea level.

8) If you want to redo it because you didn't click in the center of the circle to the best of your liking, you can do this by clicking the green button that says "Clear All Points" and then clicking on the button that says "Clear." This will bring you back to the beginning where you will just have that white box that says "Click on the map to retrieve elevation." This is where you can try to click in the middle of that circle above your house again.

*It took me 3x to get it where I liked it when I did this on my phone. This whole thing will be much easier on an iPad/Tablet or a Computer/Laptop.

If Telegram is an important app for you then try not to EVER get a new phone number, and if you have to make sure the new phone number you get isn’t a recycled phone number. Try to get into Telegram with new said phone number while you’re still at the cell phone place, that way if you can’t get in, you can try another number.

Also make sure that if you’re getting a new device that that device and any other old devices are kicked off of your Telegram account in the device section in settings.

On X (formerly Twitter), the Direct Messages (DMs) and group chats support a few basic standard Markdown shortcuts to style your text.

The other formatting styles you can use right in the text box include:

• Bold: Put double asterisks before and after a word or phrase.

Syntax: **word**

• Italics: Put a single asterisk before and after a word or phrase.

Syntax: *word*

• Bold Italic: Put three asterisks before and after the text.

Syntax: ***word***

• Strikethrough: Put two tildes before and after the text to draw a line through it.

Syntax: ~~word~~

• Code Block (Monospace): Put a single backtick (`) before and after text to make it look like programming code.

Syntax: `word`

What about Underlining?
As mentioned before, standard Markdown doesn't have an underline shortcut. Since X chats do not accept raw HTML tags like <u>, you can't underline text natively using keyboard symbols. If you absolutely need underlined text in a DM or a public post, you have to use a third-party Unicode Text Formatter to copy and paste stylized text.

Regular public posts on X do not support Markdown symbols like **bold** or *italics*. If you type those into a public post, the asterisks will just show up as regular text.

The exact formatting options available depend on your account type:

1. For X Premium Subscribers

If you subscribe to X Premium, a built-in formatting toolbar is unlocked when creating long-form public posts or X Articles.

• How to use it: When typing a post on a desktop browser, highlight the text you want to change.

• The Toolbar: A pop-up menu will let you click "B" for Bold or "I" for Italics.

• Timeline Note: X limits how bold and italic fonts appear directly on the main timeline. If you use this feature, timeline viewers will usually have to click into your post details to see the formatting.

2. For Standard (Free) Accounts

Free accounts have no built-in formatting buttons or Markdown support for public posts. The standard workaround is using an online generator:

• The Workaround: Write your text in a free tool like the X Text Formatter or Postpone Font Generator.

• Copy and Paste: The tool converts standard letters into special Unicode characters that look naturally bold, italic, or struck-through. You can copy and paste those stylized words directly into your public post, bio, or display name.

• The Caveats:

◦ Unicode stylized words cannot be searched by the X search bar.

◦ They eat into your 280-character budget faster because X counts each styled character as two characters.

◦ Screen readers for visually impaired users cannot read Unicode text properly, so it is best used for single words rather than full paragraphs.
