Next question, my Garmin is an Edge 25 which has a relatively low sample rate I believe, which can be seen in the trace not following the path but jumping in straight lines between points on the path.
The straight lines are obviously a shorter route than the actual path.
Does this mean that I'm effectively getting stinted out of some mileage?
I uploaded to Strava from Connect and Strava shows my actual route. Connect says I did 54.33 miles, Strava 54.32miles so they are working something out differently but the difference is too small and in the wrong direction for it to be the difference between following the path and jumping in straight lines.
EDIT: It seems not, just drew the route of my ride out in Mapmyride and the mileage is if anything, slightly short of what Garmin and Strava have.
