Discrepancy GPX elevation profile and AvoMap

Moin Tobias,

first of all: great tool that you developed here. I absolutely love it - especially compared to the very restricted Relive app.
However, I came across an issue with the elevation profile of my GPX file that I imported.

I used the gpx.studio to create a gpx file of a bike tour we did early this year over the alps with the coresponding elevation profile which reflects the actual altutudes pretty well, with the peak being 2385m (see screenshot). In AvoMap however, the same peak of our road is given with 2600m, which is not correct. As this is a quite cental information, I like to have the elevation at least in the similar range. Same holds true for a segment later in the track, where the town (Morbegno) is at ~200m, but AvoMap representing it at around 600m.

I tried different methods of creating the gpx file, with an without timestampts, simplified and original as tracked - no effect. Of course I tried recalculating the profile within AvoMap, again with no significant change.

Do you have any advice for me?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best,

Jonathan

    Hi Jo, Thanks for reaching out and letting me know. Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer right now. Could you please send the file to hello@avomap.com so I can try to reproduce what’s going on under the hood? I’m on a small holiday at the moment, but I’ll try to look into it soon, as I’m sure others might have this issue as well.

    BTW: I also tried manually creating the whole track from start to end. I have the same issue here with wrong altitude meters. It seems better, if i only have short bike trip. But with 600km+ it wont work correctly :\
