The odd thing about it is that the information is uploaded from my device to either the computer or Connect...or both. When I synchronize an activity from Garmin to Strava, I can see the grade as I move the cursor across the elevation chart. However, it's a PITA to synchronize, as Garmin's changes this year have made it difficult to do so. I use a third party program to sync, which takes a long time...and besides, I just want to use one program, and Connect is (barely) adequate.
