First ride today with my brand new 840 Solar, yeeha.
I chose to ride a standard round which I have cycled before with my handlebar-mounted Fenix 5X+. I cycled this round multiple times, on different days.
Now it suddenly turns out that I have cycled 130 more meters in altitude... In Garmin connect i can I can simply pick the file recorded with the Fenix out from the rest based on distance and altitude meters, without opening everything, so stable are the figures of this course, of course within som margins.
Elevation correction is turned off (because barometer, same on the Fenix). Min and max heights are more or less the same (small deviation, but it seems that this stays during the recording) Auto calibration is on (same on the Fenix) and altitude profile looks the same. Yesterday I soaked the Edge to get the GPS working.
The course (from Komoot where I got it from) loaded into Garmin gives almost the same altitude data as after I rode the course with the Fenix. So the Edge is the one that deviates. A little deviation is normal, but a total height difference of 130 meters is significant. If the min and max altimeters had been different, I would have looked there, but now I don't know what is wrong.
Checked the barometer port on the Edge, but that is spotless (well i didn;t expected anything as it was the firts ride with it).
It is also noticeable that the course that I ride was made in Komoot. The elevation gain that is stated there is more or less the same that the Fenix recorded on several rides
The course is in the woods/open field. No buildings, no mountains or deep cliffs that can cause some errors.
Any ideas?
