All that doesn't make what Garmin said incorrect.

You don't know whether there's really any difference between using that and other methods. It's certainly easier.

Again, this is wrong. The GPS can have drop outs and doesn't account for elevation. And it might cut corners too. And Garmin says otherwise.
