Reply to "Defendable Elevations"

Duane I had the same experience with you when I used the elevations from my Garmin during a ride.
But the people in that study that I posted used the Garmin in a way similar to what Oscar suggests, leaving it in place for at least a minute to let it stabilize on a reading.

I should have noted in my previous post that the minimum of 0.4 feet and maximum of 4 feet that they mention were of ERRORS of all the points they measured.

So if you measure the elevation of points by letting the GPS device (one with a barometric sensor) sit on the ground for at least a minute, you can expect an error of less than 4 feet in the difference between start and finish elevation measurements.
