Elevation Correction Wont Stay on disabled - Help

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago
I have a edge touring + and this unit has the barometric altimeter, according to the garmin connect site "if your device has a barometric altimeter elevation corrections are disabled by default"

For some reason this isn't happening with mine and no matter how many times I switch it to disabled, it defaults back to enabled.

How can I fix this issue

Cheers

    How can I check my barometer? And how can it broken?


    On the Fenix 3 follow the instructions here https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?227684-Hard-reset-Service-menu-Data-Backup&p=552785#post552785 to get to the Service Menu. Then press the Back-Lap button until you get to a screen with "Baro Test" at the top. My Baro is working fine, so that's not the problem here. I know this anyway as if I upload the .fit files to a third party website, like mygpsfiles.com, then I get the barometric altitude plot that does show the height variation of a footbridge over a main road (which you won't get with corrected altitude nor does GPS elevation reliably represent such subtle elecvation changes).

    And how wrote Crispin_Ellisdon. Graph of elevation is shown minimal change of altitude during activity.

    garmin send reply of my mail.

    .........If this elevation correction is disabled this will base the elevation data from the device's Barometric Altimeter.

    If this is enabled this will base the elevation on pre-determined data from the map itself.

    Currently we are not aware of this issue.

    If this is still defaulting to this option please can you provide images of this issue and your device serial number. As well as this can you confirm the current software version that your device is running?

    That's a disappointing reply, as there are plenty of people who have reported this issue to Garmin Support and still have open support tickets. Given that it seems to take 2 weeks to get a reply, after each time I respond to an email from the Garmin Supoort Team, I can only conclude that their Support Team is currently so overwhelmed by support issues that they are simply ineffective at following up on bugs such as this and making sure the Garmin Connect Team get it fixed.

    You have true. I wrote 2 or 3 email during 2 weeks but I got 1 reply and it was disappointing.

    Garmin wrote that they haven't problem on Connect but I have problem with my fenix3. Should I have to factory reset, I did but problem is still here.

    I'm waiting for next solution from them.
