    Hi all, recently bought a garmin edge 510 and have noticed a massive difference in elevation between it and strava android app. Has anyone else had same problem? Which is more accurate, the edge could have 100s m more than strava. Any advice anyone?

    Thanks

    Have you somewhere where you know the elevation and could compare. Odds are the Garmin is correct due to more accurate hardware.

    yeah I noticed this for quite a long time now (i've a 510 too)....In the little strava club we had, I would have waaaaay more metres climbed each week compared to the lads using strava on their phones. Same with the wife on her Edge500.
    Reckon the Garmin is correct from looking at some spins over the Sliabh Blooms. Climbs there I think are about 300m and I did them a few times way back when preparing for l'etape....

    the hills top out at about 500m max in that area, and the roads don't quite go over the highest points....kind added up so I assumed the Phone App is the one that's off?

    Never once have I seen the Garmin elevation agree with Strava.

    For example, last Sunday's spin had 1,473m indicated by the Garmin but when uploaded to Strava that was revised to 1,311m.

    I use an Edge 200 to record my spins.
