The longitudinal and latitudinal variations of the heights of the Mercury surface are found and an approximate map of the equatorial zone is constructed. By taking into account three values characterizing global nonsphericity of the Mercury surface, improved estimates are obtained of the variability of the gravitational constant G, the correction to the Mercury perihelion motion, and the linear combination of the parameter of the PPN formalism. The results for the latter two correspond to negligible solar oblateness.
