I just noticed that the elevation gain for activities that I record with my Garmin Fenix 7X shown in Intervals is very different than what Garmin recorded. It varies, but is often 10% higher in Intervals, but sometimes is even more inflated. I went back and looked at previous activities and it was lining up pretty well up until Dec 31, 2025 - at that point on it starts to differ significantly.
I’ve attached a comparison of recent activities (Climbing is Intervals, Total Ascent is Garmin). The second screenshot is the same format but the first row is Dec 31st and the rest are from Dec 30 and earlier.
Thanks, that worked! But that setting is on each individual activity. Is there a way to remove elevation correction for everything going forward? Or will it automatically not use elevation correction if the latest activity was set not to?
Same issue here. I imported a FIT ZIP file from Garmin and my recent ultra trail race. 1328m in Garmin, officially 1200m (from web site) and in Intervals… 2000m !
Okay after clicking on Reprocess File, the Elevation shows correctly for about 10 seconds. Then it goes back to 2000m.
Could this be fixed?
Is there a setting somewhere to disable Intervals touching this value? I’ll probably then need to reprocess all my activities from last months then to have accurate climbing/descent stats then.
This is really annoying if that’s a confirmed bug for me.
Uncheck use elevation correction and set Accurate Elevation to ‘yes’. That’s what I did at least and it now always uses my device’s elevation gain. If you have old activities with inaccurate elevation gain, I think you’d need to reprocess them all after making the above change. You can do that in bulk on the Activities page List view.
And for future imports I had to disable this option:
Under Settings > Sport Settings > Run > Pace Settings (but is that really a “Pace” setting?, more of a device specific setting no?)
