Hi Dave, Maybe it's different now, but earlier GPS units were pretty inaccurate in the up and down direction. For example, I was trying out my Garmin GPS II on the ferry boat between Vancouver and Vancouver Island. It informed me at one point that I was 400 ft below sea level! I considered complaining to the Captain about his poor seamanship skills but thought better of it. :-) 73 de Jim Smith VE7FO Dave Bernstein wrote: Well, I've never written an autopilot, but one based around an on-board GPS sounds like a fun project. My hands are a bit full with DXLab right now, but I will give it some serious thought. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
