Altimeter Calibration

Is there a way to calibrate the altimeter on an LR3 navigation system? I believe that my vehicle’s altimeter is reading about 50 feet low.

Can't answer specifically re LR nav system, but, due to the distribution of gps satellites, the altitude error is *always* greater than lat/long error.

There was a discussion before.

I have even a bigger off-set about 40 m.
I showed in that thread it isn't the GPS system as a old Garmin Gps system is amazing accurate. The D3 system measures the height but with an off-set that I cannot explain.
