Yepper .. the trick is that the gadget doesn't " calculate" where it's at,
it reads the location from your tax money satellites up there and * then*
calculates how fast the position is changing ... reads in MPH.  and yes,
little WA Grasshopper, I would give you some error from going uphill , but
just take the sin(Loretta) ( arctan ) of the base and subtract from the 3
previous totals of the sq rt of the answer you really wanted to see in the
first place, and you will arrive at your desired answer.  or...
alternativly, just ignore guys like you .....

Not all models have this feature, so make sure your selections have it ...
and now we should look at the navigational features, which is the gadgets
bread and butter ... some have area map download/computer capabilitys, some
just have the whole dang usa ( or world) maps already built in .... awesum,
just awesum ...

Thanks for the insightful comments; what a comfort to know you are out there
....
