I know that I live in a fairly “undulating” area but I getting more elevation gained and lost than I expect from previous similar runs. I’ve tried vacuuming out the sensor port but no change. Garmin 935.
Sigh Jun 2020 8:20pm, 14 Jun 2020 6,658 posts	Quote Pin Sigh @bja, my elevation gains are behaving (Garmin 245). However; as I've had to share my Garmin run data externally today I've clicked on it a few times more than normal, and occasionally GC has not shown the route properly, instead it's shown a straight line. A refresh screen has fixed this each time, but maybe your issue is something similar on the Connect site?
chunkywizard Jun 2020 8:34pm, 14 Jun 2020 8,365 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard Sigh, 245 doesn’t have a pressure sensor in and so uses elevation correction. The 935 has a sensor so it’s different. Biz I just checked my 945 and it’s reading right for me. You could try a hard reset (which will leave you data intact) so see if that helps. Press and hold the light button until the screen fades then press it again to get the watch to boot.
