Hi Didier, well sorry about that, I thought I sent that to my work mate Scott! But your reply is most helpful. If I could find a survey mark around here I could work it out from the council plans. I have 1/2 dozen GPSDO and elevation is all over the place.

GPS knows your distance to the center of the earth, but it can only calculate your altitude if it knows where the ground or sea is at your location. There are several different earth models GPS receivers use to calculate that, none of them are perfect. In addition, because of the orientation of the SATs orbits, altitude is the one coordinate which is the least accurately calculated. Didier "Mark C.
