Accurate enough to size water pumping systems. I imagine 3 meters total,
or +/- 1.5 meters. I don't need absolute measurements, just relative
between two points.

Does anyone have a foolproof tool to measure elevation? I have
researched GPS units recently. They are notoriously inaccurate for

Here are few more links with GPS fundamentals:

I have a Suunto Observer watch with an altimeter. I think I can get
relatively accurate measurements of DIFFERENCE in elevation if I
measure the two elevations in quick succession. I will be trying it.
