Default GPS altitude vs altimeter altitude

I do hope this UAV flight has been cleared with the local aviation
authorities, or is contained within a "restricted" airspace to keep other
VFR and IFR aircraft safe.

My first flights will be only 20 miles or so. For safety I will be sure it
steers clear of any class B, C, and D air space. I'm not sure what
pressure altitude I will have it fly at .... probably somewhere between
1500' and 6000' AGL depending on the distance for it to cover.
