... the car travels), the horizontal distance that the GPS senses will be cos(18 degrees) = 0.95 So the GPS will read 95%% of the true speed and the error will be (1-0.95)/1 = 5%%. I suppose a really clever GPS could calculate the gradient from the rate of change of altitude and apply a suitable correction factor. Thank you for confirming my memory was correct :-) Do you have any calculations that could help prove or ...

For a hypotenuse of 1 unit (the true distance that the car travels), the horizontal distance that the GPS senses will be cos(18 degrees) = 0.95 So the GPS will read 95%% of the true speed and the error will be (1-0.95)/1 = 5%%.

And nobody said anything. The polar bears, they got quiet. (Laughter) And ...
