Actually, in the case of GPS, it's not only speed, but also the
gravitation of the earth - or, IOW, general relativity rather than only

act of climbing itself, has no effect. The different altitudes will, but not
the acceleration of climbing.

A 60 degree bank produces 2 G's. A 45 degree bank produces 1.414 G's.
