    I've noticed that as well with some activities. I often end up with 1m gained on Connevt with correction enabled, and 40-50m withit disabled.

    I do most of my data analysis on Runalyze, and they tend to have a more accurate (IMO) elevation gain corrected upon import. For a similiar activity as above, Runalyze would peg the gain around 32-37m.

    Elevation correction can fail badly, especially on steep slopes, because just a small position error can send elevation many meters off. When you disable elevation correction, then elevation recorded by GPS is used, which is in most cases acceptable under clear sky, especially when constant and relatively rapid elevation change occurs (for example when climbing or descending).
