I am using Nokia N82 with embedded GPS.
The displayed altitude is not that on the level of the sea (geoid)
but
that on the ellipsoid.
The required correction is different from point to point and needs to
be found.
Is possible to get the correct value automatically?
Many gps does it. It is a matter of firmware.
Seem me impossible that the gps of the Nokia could not do it.
Thank you. |
