Elevation Data on Importet Routes completely off

Hey guys,

i have the following problem:

i create a course/route on komoot or strava (same goes for any gpx file i import)

so lets take 1 example. I have a route made on komoot it shows me 1445m of elevation. Then i sync it to garmin connect and it shows me 1445m of elevation. When i sync that exact same route to my edge 1050 suddenly it shows 1885m of elevation. When i take the same route and export it to strava it shows me 1550m on strava and when i import it from there to my edge 1050 it shows way over 2000m of elevation. And while this fact is srsly annoying for the price of this device it gets even worse because due to the completely wrong elevation data on the edge, my climbs on that route and the climb pro data is basically unusable.

can anyone help me out here?

    sorry to interrupt the "discussion", but could this maintenance work from Garmin in their website could be messing with the "elevation correction feature" of their website. Recently, when I make an elevation correction because my garmin edge 830 didn't recorded correctly (bad weather conditions), i get no correction at all. BUT if i make the elevation correction in Strava, it all turns well.

    Maybe. Would you be willing to share the activity file.

    FYI, i've talked with Garmin Support and they are handling with some troubles in the feature of elevation correction through their website

    This does not appear to be fixed for me. I'm still getting heavily inflated elevation numbers on my 1050 compared to Garmin Connect/Strava/RideWithGPS.

    Edit: For some reason it looks like the issue is worse for courses coming from ridewithgps. Take this course for example:

    https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44221514

    www.strava.com/.../3268958316189327988


    RideWithGPS: 36.76 miles, 2148 feet -----> 1050: 36.76 miles, 3451 feet

    Strava:             36.72 miles, 1801 feet -----> 1050: 36.72 miles, 1850 feet

    I find that recent rides using my 1050 are showing too much elevation change compared to others, and when I use Strava to "Correct Elevation" it falls in line with what other people record. Something is definitely off with elevation calculation. It's about 7-10% too high for rides.
