Hi,

I've imported Garmin runs using TCX files, and it seems to work great for the map, but the elevation seems to be way off. For instance, on a run that I know to be basically totally flat, it tells me that I've gained like 1600 feet and lost the same. Any ideas?

Thanks!

shazchina,

The elevation data collected by your Forerunner is useless. If you use the GPS import function to import your Forerunner data directly into RA, you'll have the option to correct the elevation data. RA currently doesn't allow you to adjust elevation for existing data. I am planning to address this.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply--will it be obvious when the fix is in for correcting elevation data?

Best,
