Strava lies

All this time I have been using RWGPS and I did not know it had elevation correction .
I tried elevation correction on a few RWGPS and it seems to better than Garmin as the height gained and lost are the same or virtually the same.

The old elevation correction was better it told you the barometric recorded elevation and their predicted changes, so you could see how accurate your readings were but now (since the site update) it only says something like tick to have eleevations corrected.

I use the raw data from my garmin, in a spreadsheet, web sites are just there for a little bit of fun.

I use a Java application I wrote, which takes either .FIT or .TCX files. After some research, I came up with a calorie calculation that gives reasonable figures, too. I'm currently working on graphs, but that's taking a fair bit of work .

Endomondo doesn't stop recording anymore when I stop going for any reason , although it is set to do so. I had 20 minutes difference with mmr today. The distance covered was only a few hundred yards. So all my records are from mmr now.

Been like that for a while but if you download the gpx file from endomondo then upload to strava it will give you correct moving average speed.

I know a few guys who went up a long hill together & got times almost 1 min apart :S

This why speed sensors are a must for accurate speed.

TCX is better.

TCX is better.

Thanks , never tryed TCX yet .

I dont think there is much difference as a download from endomondo, but it can contain more info as a file type, but it depends what creates it. I have just got use to them, also multiply rides can easily be stitched together.

I do have them, but use Strava more to record how much cycling I'm doing and where I'm doing that. I'm never going to rely on GPS over a cycle computer for accurate speed.

Depending on the phone you can get them, and most gps units support them, so you get the track with the correct speed data. Though strava does use different timings as far as I can make out, which is why there is some discrepancy's.
