also, a gps can only tell elevation, not vertical, which is the height form the base (which could be 100 feet above sea level) to the top.

hahah i just realized thats roughly bigger than my lawn from one end to another, thats just embarrasing, althought the one here in london is only 115 or so, still, its better than nothing, and all of you with 400+ feet need to stop ur whining lol.
