Garmin original FIT file vs GPX export file

Hi,

I noticed that I get slightly different distances from the Garmin GPX export file than what I see on the Garmin Connect website which I assume is the original Garmin file. I'm using a speed sensor with my Edge 1000 with wheel sizing set to auto and perhaps it isn't calibrated correctly. Is the distance in the GPX file the distance calculated by the GPS satellite image? If I set my Edge 1000 to record every 1 second instead of smart recording, then can I assume that the GPX export file has the correct distance as opposed to the Garmin FIT file?

Thanks.
