I wish to calibrate my Delorme pn40 to be as accurate as possible. How do I locate a benchmark near me and find the exact elevation of that benchmark?
Thanks in advance

If you notice on geocaching.com one of the choices on the left is "Find a Benchmark". You can put in your zip code and get a list of benchmarks in your area. If you can locate one it should have the altitude engraved on it. Sometimes the description has it too.
Hope this helps.
I just wanted to say Welcome :D
Thanks to both of you. I found a benchmark near my home and calibrated the unit.
Congrats on getting a nice GPSr and for getting into Geocaching. It is a lot of fun!!
