I don't know of any consumer GPS receivers that allow you to enter the altitude of the waypoint. Thus the satellite waypoint will assume that the satellite is on the ground instead of 22,000 miles high above the equator.


Not only does my Trimble Scoutmaster record altitude as part of
the waypoint, but one can manually create waypoints, including
altitude. I've used it faithfully for eleven+ years.


That would be one waypoint you could not validate by going there, Sam ;)
