Detailed Description

Geodetic coordinate, a position in 3D space relative to the reference geoid.

Composed of a latitude, longitude, and height (aka altitude, aka elevation).

Height, ellipsoidal or geodetic height (used in GPS)

This is approximately MSL (orthometric) height, aka altitude, aka elevation. The terms "geodetic height", "altitude", and "elevation" are interchangable. "Geodetic height" is the generic, context-free term for the vertical component of a position. This is commonly called "altitude" for objects that can move freely in the vertical component. By a similar convention, "elevation" is commonly used for objects that are fixed to the ground.
