Yes, I almost always use the WGS84 datum.

Your data made me wonder about which horizontal datum is best to be used in the GPS for this kind of test. I assume that WGS84, being a global datum - as apposed to local datums used in charts - is best and closest to the spheric model used in celnav. But I'm not sure. Omar Peter
