Again, too inaccurate for my purpose:

San Marino: Monte Titano is the overall name for 3 summits, 2 of which
compete for the highest point

Andorra and Vatican: correct

Liechtenstein: Vorder Grauspitz would be more precise, to distinguish from
the somewhat lower Hinter Grauspitz

Monaco: Mont Agel is misleading. It is a point rather on the slope of Mont
Agel with the postal address 24, Chemin de Revières

And Monte Bianco we covered already.

Screening http://www.americasroof.com/world/europe-highest.shtml I found
more errors:

Luxembourg: The highest is Kneiff, 1 m higher than Buurgplaatz (a classical
error of all these lists).

Norways highest is mis-spelled.

Hi, after reading previous postings about highest
points in small countries, I found an internet link
that you all might want to check out. Of course, it
may or may not represent actual highest point down to
the most accurate measurements done by their
surveyors. The website said the highest point is
taken from Google link.


http://www.americasroof.com/world/europe-highest.shtml

Listing the highest points of small countries in
Europe by name, feet (meters), and
Latitude/Longtitude)

San Marino--Monte Titano 2,457 ft (749 m) 43.91N
12.45W

Andorra --Coma Pedrosa 9,665 ft (2,946 m) 42.58N 1.51W

Vatican City--Vatican Hill 246 ft (75 m) 41.91N 12.45W

Liechtenstein--Grauspitz 8,527 ft (2,599 m) 47.06N
9.58W

Monaco--Mont Agel 459 ft (140 m) 43.70N 7.40W

For the discussion of Italy's highest point, it says:

Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco) 15,771 ft (4,807 m) 45.83N
6.86N

It also mentioned that France claims Mont Blanc as the
highest point as well. Switzerland has Durfourspitze
as its highest point, too.

Be noted that when I clicked on a country name
hyperlink , it lead me to CIA- The World Factbook. I
recalled that previous posting made months ago said
that CIA website isn't reliable for accurate
information. Correct me if I'm mistaken.
