If you feel that your altimeter is grossly innaccurate, it's easy
enough to test by just driving around with it and a GP

Standard GPS error (drift) can be as high as 16 meters due to the geometry
of the constellation and path link errors in the atmosphere. The new WAAS
enabled GPS receivers are supposed to be accurate within 3 meters 90% of
the time. They use a ground based reference signal to give a more accura
The Picolario calibrates itself to ground level, and all altitudes reported
are relative to where it was switched on.
