Elevation Error

It seems like the elevation error never went away. I rely on Gaia Maps for creating routes for my work and my personal life. The routes that I have been mapping out using Gaia are incredibly incorrect with the elevation gain and loss and very untrustworthy. I am a paid member and I really would like to see this issue fixed.

  Nope, it never went away. I still get very different "boots on the ground" ascent/descent vert numbers from my hardware devices as compared to the estimates provided when I create routes. Unfortunately, I can't reliably plan my adventures using Gaia's numbers. 

  So seconded. I wish the blocking and tackling aspects would get fixed first instead of continuing to  release new features like map packs, etc.

  Definitely a problem in my android app. Others ask me what the gain was after a trip and now I say , "I can't tell you because I know Gaia is way low." I've seen it begin to subtract total elevation as I began going downhill .. 40% may be true. I've seen it be 1000 feet low on a 4000 foot climb.

  Yes, this is incredibly frustrating especially when I am trip planning or writing about a trail and I need accurate information. I submitted this as a problem again recently but its been going on for years.
