Hello, everyone!
In the last two activities that I uploaded, the recorded altitude does not correspond to reality.
The altitude is correct on both Garmin and Strava, but not on Intervals.icu.
Here is the altitude on Garmin:
Here is the altitude on intervals.icu:
Any idea what might have happened and how to fix it?
Thank you very much in advance!
Alex.
Did you record with a new device?
If your recording device has a barometric sensor that is working correctly, you should have these settings in the Actions - Settings menu
If ‘Use elevation correction’ is checked, that might explain what you have now. You probably need to re-analyze after a change of these settings.
My Garmin Fenix 7 has a barometer. I have configured it as follows, and it has improved, but it still does not give the exact altitude that Garmin or Strava show:
Now the altitude in intervals is 35, but it should be 37. The same thing happens in the other activity: intervals shows 399, but it should be 397.
It’s not a big deal, but I don’t know why there’s a difference. There never has been before, and I haven’t changed my watch, although I think there may have been a software update.
Since it is not important, I believe we can close the incident. Having reviewed past activities, I can see that there is sometimes a difference of 1 metre up or down.
Thank you for everything!
If you did already re-analyze, try reprocess. The ‘climbing’ summary field should just copy whatever is written to the FIT field by your device.
If you did not re-analyze/reprocess, the climbing field has been calculated with the Intervals algorithm and can have small differences due to rounding errors and differences in the algorithm.
Complete explanation is here:
I’ll mark the topic as solved.
