[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 21920, member: 22"] Dave, Don't have any experience with any GPS systems but I would assume (yes I know) it would depend on what type of "mode" it was in. If it was in a vector,distance mode it may report back with the true hypotenuse length taking into account the altitude changes also, but if it was in coordinate mode (meaning x,y coordinates only) I would say that wouldn't account for the difference in altitude. In this case I would say that you were recieving just the base distance and not the true distance (hypotenuse) the bullet would travel. This will be interesting. In HS and College they could have their english courses and Shakespeare, and junk. Me, I love math. Keep us updated on this. Steve [/QUOTE]
