-During the recording, the elevation gain value can look confusing as it displays quite large numbers; however, the value is true and displays a total elevation gain measured by your device. As the GPS-measured altitude values are quite fuzzy, the result has to be optimized. The optimization is calculated later after saving the track so as not to waste your device's battery life.
