In an area on Kerbin where I have a high-resolution altitude scan, the slope is consistently being reported as around 5.58 to 5.60 times the reported (and reasonable) elevation. The factor varies within that range. Over the ocean, the slope is positive while the elevation is negative, and the factor is about -5.59 rather than 5.59.
It seems pretty clear that this does not correspond to the slopes I see on the scansat overlay map, and is furthermore pretty useless since it gives me no additional information I could not deduce from the elevation.
