I have a Forerunner 305 that I use strapped to the handlebars on my bike.
Lately I've noticed that every now and then I'll upload a ride to GC and the elevation gains and losses are way off when elevation correction is enabled.
For example I did this ride yesterday:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/46781019
With elevation corrections disabled I get:
Elevation gain: 1143 m
Elevation loss: 1383 m
With corrections enabled I get:
Elevation gain: 4334 m
Elevation loss: 4558 m
Elevation corrections more than tripled my gains and losses!
Looking at someone else's activity that did the same trail with an Edge 705 the numbers produced without elevation corrections are pretty reasonable. Obviously the corrected numbers are not...
I had a similar problem occur with a different ride a few weeks ago as well.
Is this some sort of bug occuring? Errors with the elevation correction database?
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
