Funny how seemingly unrelated posts and off-list correspondence sometime 
coincide.

I've just had a series of private email exchanges with a GPS user in 
Brazil.  He's into hang gliding and found the review of the Garmin 
Foretrex 201 I wrote and posted on my website.  He asked several 
questions about getting data out of it, it's handling of altitude data, 
etc with an eye to 3-D plots.   Finally, he responded with this message:
