It seems to assume a default uncertainty on values, though: I just added the elevation above sea level to:

just specifying the central value, and it assumes that this value is +- 0.1 km - which isn't a good assumption to make...

Did you mean to write 2.80 km about sea level? Then the error would be 0.01 km .... I am guessing the uncertainty follows the scientific notation of the number... 2.8 has the numeric uncertainty of (about) +/- 0.1...

That sounds like a reasonable approach to me...
