gis-l: Measuring Height w/ ArcPad

[Arbogast, Rene]

Hey Dave.  The elevation readings on anything less than survey-grade are
going to be (probably) 10 times as inaccurate as the horizontal measurement,
I believe.

All - I am trying to set up a Juno SB to measure Z as height above MSL.  I've
calculated geiod separation from GEOID03 GEOID HEIGHT COMPUTATION
<http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/GEOID_STUFF/geoid03_prompt1.prl>  and
changed it to read in feet and still get a Z value that is 25 feet higher
than the USGS Topo map elevation.  Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
