I usually see the opposite.
"Using the elevation data from your GPS, your trip has +1814 / -1803 feet gain/loss. Our elevation data shows this route has +2016 / 2031 feet "
Maybe I should start using the corrected data and get a free 10% boost. Yesterday's ride is even better.
"Using the elevation data from your GPS, your trip has +2693 / -2661 feet gain/loss. Our elevation data shows this route has +3757 / 3799 feet " Seriously? 1000 feet difference?
