    What device are you using?
    Have turned on "elevation corrections" on Garmin Connect?
  • The climb is a sum of all climbing during the activity. Even if all you have is deviations of a couple meters along your route, it adds up if you are encountering a lot of them on a long ride. But if you believe previous rides to be correct, then hopefully it's a one time thing. Sometimes starting out too soon after you get a satellite lock causes issues. Is there anything on the graphs that suggest such. How does the elevation graph compare to previous rides on that route?

    the elevation graph suggests the right thing but the elevation gain is completely up the pole...
    it also does when I upload to strava...
    Im using a Edge 305
    maybe time to get a 510???
