Ipad Mini plus Garmin Glo plus good software and you won't have that problem.
The Glo works on the US GPS- and the russian Glonass system.
The whole thing updates the position every 1/10 second and with 5 meters accuracy.
I'm more than happy with the setup.

G'day spencer17.....we often loose total GPS satellite coverage in the deep gorges, not sure if the Glasnoss would cover that problem :( our problem was a simple wire had come off the antennae :eek: :p ;)

Just out of interest, at those altitudes are you using oxygen or has your body completely acclimatised?
