Hi all ,
i find some information about altitude given by a GPS.
The correction is contained in the sentence $GPGGA as follow:
**********************************
Bonjour,

Si vous prenez la phrase NMEA $GPGGA d'un GPS vous aurez l'indication de 
correction d'altitude( en rouge ci-dessous et souligné) à effectuer ce qui 
correspond à l'explication de Roland, mais la plus part des GPS normalement 
tiennent compte de cela et affiche la bonne altitude, sur mon garmin je n'ai 
rarement plus de 5 à 10 m d'écart avec la réalité

$GPGGA,065110.000,4544.5047,N,00438.9883,E,1,07,1.2,472.7,M,48.5,M,,0000*56

*********************************************************
The indication is in red :48.5, after the 11th comma.
