Default GPS altitude vs altimeter altitude

To respond to the original posters question. I have often asked the
same thing. My observations are this. My plane is sitting in the hangar
at 6412.37 msl. The airport was just recently surveyed so I am sure
this is a real close number. I set my altimeter to the current setting
and it shows within 3 feet. I fire up my King KMD150 MFD and it will
almost always show 8- 12 feet higher then that, never seen it lower.


where is the GPS antenna vs the altimeter?
