When I posted to Strava mine showed 1133 ft. of elevation while my friend, Ray, showed 1522 ft. of elevation. Just wondering if anyone knows why that is so.
If you buy a more expensive Garmin, they boost your elevation so you can feel better about your ride. The more expensive of a computer you buy, the higher it tells you (and your friends) you've climbed. Just one of the perks.
