Altitude issues in 530 and 830

1309774

Hello:

The garmin edge 530 and 830 present an altitude value on the screen, but when you switch it to connect, the altitude value recorded on the track differs a few meters.

Additionally, when you go downhill, the altitude recording is done with a certain delay, recording altitude data that corresponds to the previous seconds in which the correct altitude has been recorded.

Software version 6.00

    6.2 was just out to fix altitude issues.

    Try it out to see if it resolves yours as well.

    Hello:

The altitude problems remain exactly the same as in version 6.00, it marks a different altitude on the screen than the one recorded on the track. Additionally, it records altitude drops with a 10-15 second delay.

To top it off, I think the accuracy of the gps has worsened, since on the descents with sharp curves it goes off line.

Disaster...

    For me, most, if not all altitude issues are resolved.

    Urggghhhhhh my elevation data was fine before 6.20. Now it seems the elevation slowly corrects after about 30 minutes. If I set elevation before the activity, the elevations start to drift and then abruptly corrects to the proper elevation after about 30 minutes. Any ideas?
