Hey Mike, for more accurate results you might be better off getting as high as you can, despite not knowing exactly your elevation. You're right, the issues involved have been extensively discussed here fairly regularly. Take a cruise through the archives. What happened to the bloke who was going to put together a FAQ? ________________________________________ From: Mike Burkes 2.Dip at beach: This issue may have been batted around the List before but is there a prescribed method of determining height of eye for dip correction at beach? I would venture a guess if elevation is known at that precise spot that would be one way but I try to get as close as possible to water in order to minimize eye height.
