When I upload my rides from my 305 to Connect, everything is great. Except my elevation profile always starts at 0 feet. I live at 5,000 feet. If I climb up to 6,00 feet during my ride, most of the elevation profile (0 to 5,000 feet) is just wasted. I didn't always see this, but now I see it all the time. How do I fix this :confused: ? Thanks.
Edge 305 or FR 305?
If former, might be that the barometric port is blocked.
I don't think you understand the problem. The reported elevations from the GPS are correct. The problem is the Connect website used to show the lowest elevation as roughly the lowest elevation of the ride. Now Connect shows the lowest elevation as 0 feet. But I live at 5,000 feet, so the 0 to 5,000 feet is wasted. I have 1,000 feet of climb, but you can barely see it because the scale is 0-6,000, instead of 5,000-6000.
I think one of the reasons it's presented with the elevation axis of the graph going from 0 to 6000, is to make the graph look smoother for the 35plus miles it's stretched out to. If you plot it within 1000 ft using the same amount of space, then your elevation plots will look rougher and more exagerated to the distance plot.
What looks good for someone just wanting an overview, which I think it does now, wouldn't look good to someone wanting detail, which I think is what you are wanting.

It used to do it the other way (Didn't start at 0 feet if lowest elevation is 5,000 feet). My eTrex still does it the other way. I want to go back to the old way. As it stands, I can have 1,000 feet of climbing, and it barely shows up on graph.
What I want to do is go back to the old way. How do I do that?
Well you can move the pointer along the graph and get the data values for any specific point. But as far as going back to the "old way" I guess you can't. Although if you have something to parse the fit files, you can make your own graph. And there may already be some software out there that does this.
Maybe one day Garmin Connect will let us control the scale of the axis on the graphs.
I am having the same problem. The weird thing is that my daughter has the same garmin as me, and she does NOT have this problem. Neither does one of my good friends. They see the elevation changes the old way. I used to when I first got my garmin, but now I don't. I have no idea what happened or why mine changed, and Garmin folks cant seem to help either. No resolution is extremely frustrating. And to everyone who says use the pointer, well that just isn't very helpful when you want to actually see the ups and down of your workout.
