Elevation Treadmill

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi, who knows how to integrate elevation into Garmin so that the watch knows that I m running up and not flat? Because otherwise how can the watch calibrate effort without to know the elevation? It is like I run 5’/km without elevation and 8’/km with 10% elevation with higher HR, how does he make the difference?

thanks

Which Garmin device do you have? Although elevation is not accurate on GPS devices, you should be getting some elevation change based on your device and wheter or not it has a barometric altimeter. From Garmin Connect Web, do you have elevation corrections disabled?

thanks, fenix5, the barometric altimeter is working on Treadmill? will look at elevation corrections if it is disabled or not

Sorry, guess I should have looked at the subject. If this is not an outdoor activity, then no elevation change. Are you just wanting to simulate elevation change based on the incline setting of the treadmill?

Yes

Understood. I've moved this thread to the fenix 5 forum for better visibility and hopefully some suggestions.

As far as I know, you have to calculate it by hand and edit your activity afterwards. Kalories won't be adjusted though. Have you screened for a dedicated app in connect IQ? For effort calculation Garmin uses just HR, so that should be no problem.
