Hello, does this GPS track altitude as well? Looking to use it in an RC model. Thanks

Yes. The sensor will gives you latitude, longitude,altitude, speed, heading, climb rate, time on my raspberry pi.

It use it in a Raspberry Pi, and it does track altitude, but I have noticed a variation of over 400 feet in altitude depending on how many, and which satellites it has a fix from. This is with the built in antenna, I am sure adding an external, would improve those results.

As far as I know, all GPSs track altitud as long as they have acquire signals from more than 3/4 satellites. I have this GPS module and I get altitude readings. Hope this helps.

It does yes, altitude, direction, and velocity. But they are only about as accurate as the coordinates themselves (within 3-5 meters),

I've never had trouble with the accuracy of distance. Only if you ride in a very wooded and hilly area, might that ever happen. It's never happened with me and my unit. Garmin makes very high quality product.

Not on the watch, but in the Run Details it shows the altitude, i guess from the GPS

I use my eTrex for sailing, and so I am not attuned to altitude; nonetheless, I don't recall seeing altitude figures on it. Sorry.

According to my husband whom I purchased this for, the sensor is more accurate and when riding in the mountains can sometimes lose GPS signal (he rides in Adirondacks in summer). Also, works for indoor training. For suburban areas and outside only, GPS should work fine.

I do a lot of mountain running & hiking & I own a Casio Pathfinder (Triple Sensor) which does have barometric altimeter readings, so were I to purchase the Garmin 305 (which seems likely at this point) I would be using them in tandem. Of course I could not upload the real time data from the pathfinder into any of the websites mentioned, but my question is this (and I hope this is not too tangential to the Garmin 305 discussion) - does anyone have any information on the accuracy of the Pathfinders altitude accuracy?

Altitude is part of the position calculation, and almost all GPSs can report it. Altitude error is about twice location error, so not too accurate. An altimeter/barometer greatly improves this accuracy, by correcting for oscillations in indicated altitude. They figure out the barometric pressure, so the slow weather changes are corrected out. Plus you can predict weather from the barometric changes, if you study them carefully enough.

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!

This goes a little slower than walking speed with the stock aa batteries. The range is very far...I opened mine up and put the antenna inside and it still gives me 50ft without abstractions. That is very good for any toy rc. I would really suggest buying this car if you want to go slow and rock crawl, but if you want to go fast look elsewhere.

Yes, it does on decent. Not sure why it does not on climb. We have used it from Maine to Alaska, we are no on our way back. We have loved this GPS, it has so many features. We still are finding out new things about it. CJ

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...

This is a challenged RC plane, if it wasn't paired when you bought it, it might not ever sync... It should have been bound to the controller at the time of purchase .. I hope that helps... Invest in a little better RC product

Hello S_P. I own this Jolly Logic AltimeterOne. Before each flight, you press the red button to zero out the display. The Altitude displayed after you retrieve your model is in reference from where you launched it, not sea level. I love this handy little altimeter. I hope this helps.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

I am not sure how the performance changes with altitude, I reside at 3200 ft and have no issues at all. I would suggest visiting the March website and determine that.

Don't know... haven't tried that yet... usually I'm looking for GPS coordinates based on maps and general topography... a lot of times when your in between high ridges being able to read a map; thus long/lat comes into play.... because the GPS can't pick up a signal..... both are good skills to have.

I really dont know because all i use my radar gun far is to check the speed of rc boats out on the water and it works fine for me for that sorry i could not be of any help. db.
