The highest mountain in the Caribbean: Controversy and resolution via GPS

Kenneth Orvis (2003) reported that based on his GPS readings he was able to record the altitude and latitude and longitude of Loma La Pelona and Pico Duarte, (Dominican Republic) both contenders for the highest mountain of the Caribbean islands. Loma La Pelona was reported to be 3094 ± 4.5 m high, at 19°01'55.29"N, 71°00'18.93"W; and Pico Duarte was reported to be 3098 ± 4.5 m. high, at 19°01'22.73"N, 70°59'53.08W.
