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?
That's interesting. Most of the people I know around here get much higher readings from the sensor than the corrected elevation. Maybe it's our location. Either way, if you ride a lot of the same routes you're going to get more consistency from the data sets.
