Is there something going on with Garmins under-recording climbing?
I did a ride today which was meant to be about 600m and Garmin, and hence Strava, says it was 200m. The trace is much flatter than it should be and it even records some climbs as being descents - eg Cryers hill is like an 80m climb, but it thought it was a descent.
I also spotted a clubmate who I rode with on Sunday had his climbing under-recorded. It was a ride that should have been 900m. My Garmin registered 380 and his was 430. Another guy with a Wahoo got 1100.
I know there is always some variation but not this much. Is my Garmin fucked or is everyone getting this since last week?
