Why does my garmin results not match strava

Former Member over 4 years ago

Anyone else had trouble with Garmin & strava results not matching? I also used MapMyRun & all 3 had different results. Garmin I’m much faster..

Could you share the link to this activity from [Garmin Connect Web]? You'll need to make it public, at least temporarily. This might give us a better idea of what might be happening here.

I have spoken to garmin... I didn’t realise my VIVOMOVE doesn’t have GPS.. so tracking is unreliable it seems

I record my rides on a Edge 830, then manually upload to Strava.

The distance (miles) is always longer on Strava. February 2021 total distance (from memory) was +3 miles longer.

Elevation gain is lower on Strava.

And which one is correct? In the case you feel the Edge is wrong, then did you try calibrating the speed/distance sensor on your bike?

How many miles did you ride in February? For example if you did 300 miles, and the difference was just 3 miles (1%), then it is an excellent match, that even pro devices would not need to be ashamed of.
