So I mapped a run and it said I had a Climb: 13547 feet. I doubt it was that much! What gives?

Hit "reset elevations" and it will correct it.

It was explained to me, that the program reaches out to google earth or something like that to get elevation data each time you plot a new point, and as data transfers back and forth, it introduces errors.  I LOT of error sometimes.

If you reset, it has the entire route established, so it can get all the elevation data at once, or quicker, so no more error.
