Doesn't the GPS give you 'altitude' -- computed as height above the surface of an ellipsoid? Or does it correct for mean sea level? There seem to be several computations required to derive true altitude from the raw GPS altitude coordinate and it is not clear to me if particular GPS receivers perform this adjustment.
