What I mean is that the GPS calculations are based on a globe. We all know
that the earth is not a perfect globe, but a flattened globe.
That is reason one for the altitide correction.

Secondl reason: when using it on this "perfect globe", we also have
mountains or higher plains, which again require an altitude correction.
