I know that Strava does it’s own calculations (blah, blah, blah), when importing a gps file, but I’m wondering if anyone else is noticing that strava is consistently giving different results than the F5 plus and Garmin Connect are. I’m coming over from a Suunto. Strava always had the exact same results as my Suunto did, but not so with my F5 plus. I always end up with more distance once it’s imported into strava. It’s a little annoying. Yesterday my buddy and I did the same exact 6.2 mile run, (he’s on Suunto). Once up on strava, he had 6.2 and I had 7.0.
anthonytieuli i don't think you want to enable that. I suspect NeilJonesOnline was asking to make sure it was "off."
With that out of the way, i've not had a single activity with my 5x or 5x+ that showed as significantly different on Strava from a distance perspective.
I have this issue but the other way, I did a 10m Garmin F5 plus run for example, and Strava auto synced it as 9.93m. Very annoying! It's done that a few times now. I'm inclined to run further just to ensure Strava is happy!
Strava wants to motivate you to additional 70 yards or whatever that is!
In the past I often had a few more meters when uploading on Strava but in during the last weeks there was almost no difference - maybe a change with one of the latest firmware-updates.
