I have been riding along a cliff on Catalina Island & had my Garmin track show me as being in the ocean for parts of the ride. That was pretty amusing. I should go back & look at elevation gain data from that one, because there's probably 100 vertical feet difference between where I actually was and where my Garmin thought I was. Although I'm pretty sure my elevation gain data is all barometric data from the Garmin unit itself.
Interesting. But again: I don't really care that much.
