7- Base Camp 3,040 m - 9,973 ft
Base camp ( Farsi Name Gosfand Sara), in this area there is a shelter , a mosque and a sheepfold . During summer you can find water and some food here , but I recommend to use your own. You may find mule and porter to carry your equipments to the next camp. Rember that in other seasons damavand base camp is walkout and almost resticted . This camp is not suitable for use in summer , because it is too crowded and too dirty, for acclimatization you may use camp1 or Camp3 instead and stay one night there If you need more time to acclimatize.

GPS Landmark Mt Damavand
longitude
the angular distance of a place east or west of a standard meridian,
especially the Greenwich meridian.
latitude
the angular distance of a place north or south of the equator.
(latitudes) regions with reference to their temperature and distance from the equator
Note:
Regarding the height of Mount Damavand , I believe hand held GPS unit results are not so accurate to refer to as a reliable reference , and I think it worth to do some accurate measurements with some sophisticated equipments like advanced differential GPS on damavand .
