My 530 seems to find random elevations (on display) to show me, but in reality I (nearly) always set off from the same place therefore the same elevation. The uploaded files don’t seem to have the same problem for some reason.
I know I can go to
It’s a pain doing this before every ride.
But does anybody know which file stores/holds the elevation settings or does it perhaps come from the map data held on the device
Try creating a Saved Location near your start point and edit the elevation if necessary. It should auto calibrate to that value when you start the ride (or at least mine does).
Elevations are stored in the Locations.fit file.
As long as I start an activity within a hundred feet (30m) or so from a saved location, my 530 automatically sets the elevation every time.
@SloMTBR Strangely enough I have my home address (or next to) in my locations.
It seems to be set more or less accurately but I’ve tweaked it manually just to see if it makes any difference, we’ll see…
When the barometer gets fairly wet from road spray while riding in the rain I find it basically stops working until it dries out which becomes super obvious when comparing elevation data from the GPS. Honestly I could have just been thinking of some other service (or turned on autocorrect at one point and forgot about it 
)
