This is from a post I made last spring:

Gamin ETREX GPS altitude test summary:

At ocean sea level measured 3 times  off -10 feet each time

6000-foot marker of unknown accuracy, off +10 feet

3468 foot bench mark, after stabilizing for 5 minutes the difference was
between +- 10 feet.

>From these tests I conclude that the accuracy in altitude measurement is
far more than I require.

Jim
