"Climbing" vs Garmin "Total Ascent"

Bug Reports
1

I wonder is “Climbing” is same as “Total Ascent” or is it something is something totally different ?

I see numbers gathered with my Garmin Fenix 7X is very different from Intervals ICU, For example my rather flat 22K run by the river is 46 meters on Garmin which looks reasonable but Invervals.icu report 964m which does not look right

I see difference in other runs too though this is the highest.

OK. In Activity->Settings I see elevation correction is used for this Garmin Device

I have now request to update database so it is considered having accurate elevation tracking

Hm. Interesting. After unchecking “Use Elevation Correction” and Reprocessing file and re-analyzing activity I still see same elevation gain not matching garming

I’m having the same issue. About 60ft in Garmin but >800 Ft in intervals. What’s the deal?

On a side note to Total Ascent, I’ll use this opportunity to bump the request for Total Descent.

Your file doesn’t have any altitude data so altitude has been estimated from the GPS data and topological maps. I don’t know how Garmin is getting their number. Maybe you could find out?

I had a look at that run and it seems good now. Sorry I missed this post originally.
