Height bug
From OpenTom
Some Tomtom GPS-Chips (see table below) tell the height above WGS84 ellipsoid instead of producing the height above sea level (ASL). The difference between the height ASL and that above WGS84 ellipsoid is not constant (varies between -106 m and +85 m [1]) although it varies quite smoothly. The correction for a particular position can be obtained with the online geoid calculator.

- Note: the option for Height is an example where the correction needs to be -48.4 m.
