It takes the elevation for its stored home location (692 ft) just fine when I start the ride, but then it starts climbing on its own and then descending--with no reflection of the real elevation. Here's the profile that shows for the ride today (FWIW, I never saw the unit display anything over the mid 900s)... https://ridewithgps.com/trips/207523646 and here's the proper profile from the route... https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47703480 Anyone seen this before or have suggestions? And no, I haven't tried resetting the unit yet, but do plan to. -- Ted Heise West Lafayette, IN, USA
