How to get the same data from the Garmin Elevation data fields?

Question

It looks like there are two different current Elevation data fields available. One is called "Elevation" and the other is called "GPS Elevation". 
 I figured out how to access the GPS Elevation (Position.getInfo().altitude), but I can't seem to figure out how to obtain the other "Elevation" field. Any ideas how to access it?

In Activity.Info.altitude. you see the baro elevation on devices with a baro. It's generally more accurate than the GPS version. If your device has an ABC widget/glance, that's what you'll see. It's what you'll see in the elevation DFs on devices with a baro, and what you'll see in GC for devices with a baro. For devices without a baro, in GC it will apply elevation correction by default based on the location. 
 the baro data is also what you'll see in SensorHistory.getElevattionHistory
