Correlation between temperature and elevation

Hello guys, can you check on your watches is there correlation between temperature and elevation. When the temperature rises elevation drops and vice versa. So I am from Bulgaria and here is winter now and when I went from warm to cold the watch gain elevation, but when tempering everything works fine. If you see the same pattern give check in my bug report for the beta program if you are on the program.

If you are not can still make good discussions because it's quite annoying...

    Thanks for the information.

    Concerning your initial post. I ran a quick round today, about 25min and I saw a drift in elevation (~5m) which can not be explained by a change of the ambient pressure. What sees strange to me is that the temperature of the watch dropped and although the measured altitude.

    You wrote at the beginng of you post that you had an elevation drop with rising temperature of the watch, is that correct?

    I just would like to understand what is happening here. Because those effects are fine to me. So I do not care if I have made 34 or 39 altitude meters while running. Especially that this seems to be an effect wich is not rising necessarily with time and altitude meters.

    In the first half of running I have elevation drift upwards after that everything is ok. I see it today, and when compare it with the same run from july it was 7m off for the first half and normal for the other half. Don't now the reason I compare it with topo map and at the start point is spot on, but in 2km it's drifting 7-8m above. I'll monitor what's going in cause I use this route quite often. Don't now if it's from temperature because now don't fluctued when I sleep. I will rinse more often to see will it improve .
