Yes, to clarify, not a strava vs MMR distinction, rather a database vs GPS track data distinction. Unless the weather changes drastically, and granted, sometimes it does, barometric is a little more accurate than GPS for elevation, and a lot more accurate than the database, unless you are in Kansas.

I could not figure this one out. I've tried Strava's mapping tool and am truly surprised at how bad it is.
