Remarks

• Altitude represents an altitude value, available in feet, meters, kilometers, miles, and nautical miles. Because altitude information may not be available from the GPS, it is important to check the IsValid property before using the data.
• The IsValid property of the Altitude object is false until a valid altitude has been assigned to the object.
