Default GPS altitude again is close to actual

Digital systems are merely easier to read in some cases. Most people
nowadays (at least it seems) prefer digital watches. They provide the same
accuracy (1 second) but digital gives you a number and in stopwatch mode can
give you a number good to several decimal places. I prefer my analog since
I don't need that kind of precision for my daily timetracking. It is
quicker to read, but if need be, it could be made to give several decimal
places of accuracy.

I hate digital speedometers in a car. They drive me nuts with the numbers
always flipping back and forth.

If the frequency exists in the real world, the best analog system is
at least as good as any digital system.
