Elevation range of -150 to +150m on running activity is pointless.

Former Member over 6 years ago

Is there anyway to change to range of elevations shown on an activity in Garmin Connect for Mac. My runs always show from +150m to -150 in elevation yet the highest point locally is only 45m elevation. It makes the graph look flat as all my runs are in the 0 to +50m range.
See the attached screen shot. Strava shows this is 89m climbing with a large incline at start and finish yet Garmin shows it near flat. ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1466215.jpg

(+) 1.

The "Y"-axis should be auto-scalable, or at least operator scalable.

Same holds true for a lot of/all the other displayed parameters.

I'll put this in "feature requests", whoops someone already did :)

When did you lodge the feature request? Thanks

Hi - I didn't because there was a thread there already that addressed. IIRC, I added to that one.

Cheers!

ColinDooradoyle - it does autoscale but how it does it is a bit of a mystery - my last run had elevation from 77M to about 130 and the Graph scale showed me from -50 up to 300 on the full screen page and 0 to 200 on the summary page so I'm not sure how it decides but a manual setting would be really nice.

Indeed. It’s not useful to show increments of 50m unless mountain climbing. I would like to be able to set the scale as no minus elevation and the + scale set in 10m increments
please garmin.

I agree fully to this. There are posts going back 7 years here and nothing has been done about it. I train in an area that is mainly flat - highest point about 40m but on Garmins scale I can't see any much up and down at all as it only really shows in increments on 50m and nothing much in-between

Looking at the with when running this it seemed to range from 15m to 35m but that can't really be seen here. the Y axis should be possible to drag out

Posts on the user forum won't have much effect on the development plans of Garmin. When requesting a feature, use rather the right tool designed for exactly that purpose: https://www.garmin.com/forms/ideas/

Alternatively, you can do like I did too, and turn on the Y-scaling by selection, yourself with the help of GCOverrides:
