Wrong elevation gain computation in planner

Daniele Orlandi shared this problem 2 years ago

Hello,


It often happens that the elevation gain computed by the planner is significantly overestimated. The same track saved and opened in the app outputs a more reasonable elevation gain.

For example, this track:

Gives 1962 m of elevation gain in the planner and 1614 m in the app.

This is true and still an issue which should be improved. In contrast to the app, Web Planner is not applying an attenuation filter to smooth virtual vertical zig-zags of the track. Just by applying such a filter, elevation gain will get realistic values

Btw: there are already threads to the same issue:

I have the same problem, furthermore the maximum altitude is not right, neither in the app, nor in the web planner. My example: Priečne sedlo is 2352 m above sea level. In the mobile app it indicates 2308 m, in the web app according to the elevation chart it is 2310, however if I move the cursor over it's icon the number is correct. So it is very strange, that I can see 3 different elevation data, but only the 2352 m is correct.
