Apparently some, but not all, models of the Garmin64 have a
barometric altimeter. Depending on your actual model, this may or
may not apply.<br>

David gave you a very good answer. Your looking at a 11 meter
difference. That is not much. The first thing would be to look
at the gps measurement. (Any trees? Good satellite constellation?
Any obstacles?). At best, your looking at a 6 to 10 meter error
vertically. SRTMs are affected by trees. That would make the
SRTM higher (not your case). Last thing to look at the the
differences between the gps geiod model (a model of the average
sea level). SRTM use EGM96. Your GPS probably uses something a
bit more modern. You can easily get a 5 meter error between two
Geiods.</blockquote>
