Dennis, Don't implicitly trust the altitude on the '195 (or any GPS). They may be off by several hundred feet because of the very small angles involved. This is a deficiency in the GPS system and not related to any particular unit. This is one reason that IFR GPS approaches are so slow to be developed. Hope this helps. Dave in Alamogordo, NM
