How come the GPS reads a different altitude than the Altimeter?



For many reasons. The main reason is that they derive altitude by two
completely different methods and this inevitably introduces errors.
Then each method has its own inherent errors.

Even two altimeters side by side won't read the same altitude other than
by accident.
