Good morning, help please! Can anyone tell me if the entry-level Garmin family of handheld units, eg Garmin 95,196, 296 read MSL above the EGM96 geoid model (rather than the WGS84 ellipsoid). ie that the EGM96 is hardwired into them. I cannot get an answer to this anywhere, from Garmin or online, and certainly not in any Garmin manuals. A couple of paragliding websites suggest that EGM96 is built in to aviation GPS units that have no barometric correction. Any definitive reference will help. Thanks!
