Hm. The highest data point recorded via APRS is 71185 ft. around the location where the KML data was peaking (although there are gaps after that). See: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://aprs.fi/?call=KJ6ERK-11&mt=m&z=11&timerange=86400">http://aprs.fi/?call=KJ6ERK-11&mt=m&z=11&timerange=86400</a>. The G1, according to all reports, will only accurately report location up to 60,000 ft. If you managed to hack that, then kudos... but you probably want to double check your altitude calculations.<div>

This doesn't seem right. Assuming the kml measures altitude in metres,<br>
that puts apogee at about 200,000 feet - I thought the ceiling for<br>
balloons was about 120k feet?<br>
<br>
Was the G1 the only GPS that flew? Would be nice to have another set of<br>
data to validate against.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
