Wow, MB Gravity makes a big difference on elevations! (Read 506 times)

I've got a fever...

    I'm amazed at how much of a difference MB Gravity (elevation correction on Motion Based) makes on elevation measurements. Here's two runs on the same out-and-back course (which should have a symmetrical elevation profile). Here's the un-corrected version (directly as the Garmin sees it): Here it is corrected by MB Gravity: Huge difference! If you use Motion Based, bu sure to turn the corrections on. I was especially concerned about the huge 300' cliff around the 3.25 mile mark. You think I would have remembered that. Tongue

    On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office.  But you will wish that you'd spent more time running.  Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

      The latest beta of Sporttracks has a plug in that does similar elevation correction. Not sure the elevation data is even worth looking at without it.

      I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.
