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.
