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 l…

Check your elevation correction setting like in this post: [image] Does GAP Include Elevation Correction? @CarlyRunJepsen In Timeline Tab choose Actions>>Settings then: [image]

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?

If you have ‘Accurate elevation’ set to Yes, it will automatically apply to all new activities.

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 ! [image] [image] There is surely a checkbox or option somewhere :wink:

Surely, it’s mentioned there or couple posts above [image] Vertical meters/climbing imported wrong? Bug Reports Intervals.icu computes total climbing from the altitude data if the device doesn’t have accurate elevation or if you crop the activity. I did Actions…

We are working on improving elevation correction (better maps and smoothing). Should have something out soon.

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 ac…

@ohmax Go to one of your activities, then click Actions → Settings. You’ll see the following: [Screenshot 2026-03-23 at 14.51.50] 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 act…

Thanks that worked. Note that in List view under Update Settings the option is at the bottom “Use elevation correction” and I had to set it to No. [image]
