Hi all,
When looking at one of my activities, I'd like to see which routes are more difficult (elevation wise) than others, but I don't understand (or it just plain doesn't work) on the garmin connect website.
Take this activity for example: http://my regular parkrun It says:
Elevation Gain: 35 m
Elevation Loss: 33 m
Min Elevation: 24 m
Max Elevation: 66 m
Now I already have a problem, 66-24 = 42, so how can I have only climbed 35m?
Looking at the graph (which annoyingly always auto scales to start at -200m) I can clearly see I was at 26m at the 2.5km mark, and 66m at 4.0 kms, so that's 40m of climbing in that section alone.
I can see that the 35m figure is just the addition of similarly incorrect gain and loss figures in the splits view.
My legs and the graph can see the hills, why can't the elevation gain and loss figures just do the math for me? Or is this trying to show me something else. If so, where can I find the number that represents how far up my legs carried me?
