I've seen reference to using GPS to verify cruise speeds before, and this  
seems like a great way to get an accurate ground speed, which is a great  
starting place for calculating airspeed if the actual wind speed and direction 
 is known.  Can someone walk me through how to get accurate wind 
information  at 7500' with only a GPS?

And then  there's always three way 
GPS verification, assuming the plane is flown at  an altitude that is 
equivalent to 7500' on a standard pressure and  temperature day.
