More precisely it's showing the height above the datum, which is the mathematical model of the earth ellipsoid the GPS uses to approximate the actual Earth. "Neil Gould" wrote in message k.net... General question: is there are practical difference between the datum and MSL? Neither have any local relevance, AFAICT.
