Elevation and temperature are way off.

Post by Rob_B »

I was looking through the data from my last rides and noticed that the elevation and temperature are way off.
Temperature in the files reads about 10-11 deg C to low and elevation reads -65 mtr and should be about +5 mtr.

The elevation changes look fine, they are just shifted down by 70 mtr.

Is there a way to correct this in the PP instead of after the each ride with the data from the Garmin.
And this only works for the elevation now and not for the temperature.

Thanks.

Rob.

This is a natural part of using barometric pressure to get elevation. Starting elevation from ride to ride will vary due to weather changes; therefore, there is no "correction" to be loaded into PP.

We can apply a correction to your temperature but you'd have to return your unit to the factory for this to happen. Probably not worth the bother, as this has no effect on power readings.
