Reply to "GPS Vertical Accuracy"

No worries.
I will say that I did not use any part of the course I measured which inspired this particular discussion.

There were a couple of climbs of ~.1 mile with a grade of 8-9% and a couple (one fairly short, the other about ~.1 mile) with grades of around 20%.

I'm almost tempted to invest in a handlebar-mounted unit which would have the barometric calculation, so I'm not staring at my wrist while riding; but also to see if the elevation swings are as drastic on a hilly route.

Again, the overwhelming majority of courses I measure don't have serious elevation change, definitely not like this one.
