GPS

When using a GPS unit to display distance travelled is it the actual distance you travel that you are given?

Using a unit such as a garmin handheld. For example if I hike over hills I travel a vertical and a horizontal distance. This combined would be greater than the distance I would travel if the ground was flat. Is this extra distance also calculated, or is it just the simple point to point displacement?
