Climb Pro mismatch with Garmin Connect

Hi all. I have been using my Garmin Descent as my bike computer recently and just noticed something a bit strange on a route yesterday. I used Garmin Connect to create a route which showed 5 climbs. I transferred it to the watch as normal and then saw in Climb Pro only three climbs. Climb Pro is set to show all climbs and the missing climb fits the criteria for a climb as shown on the garmin website:

  • Climb distance (in meters) multiplied by the percent of the average gradient should be greater than 3,500.
    A climb must be a minimum of 500 meters in length.
    Average gradient must be a minimum of 3%.

Interestingly another climb on the route that shows on garmin connect which doesn't fit the criteria doesn't show on climb pro.

Anyone got any ideas?

  • Hello,
    Sometimes, the route created in Garmin Connect may not match the actual data recorded by the GPS on your watch, especially if there are inaccuracies in the elevation profile or if there’s a gap in the data (e.g., a short stretch where the watch couldn't get a good GPS signal). It’s possible that the missing climb isn’t being detected because the elevation data was off.
