@Sven-Grossenbacher said in Wind added 60% extra elevation:
Has anyone else experienced this?
Yes, many of us.
Is there a known fix or workaround?
No.
Most manufacturers have a built-in algorithm or threshold to disregard sudden and dramatic changes in elevation that would be impossible for the given activity. Suunto doesn’t seem to employ this.
There’s a general unwillingness by some to admit that this is an issue, but there are enough examples in this forum and elsewhere demonstrating that it is, in fact, a problem. Both wind and sudden submersions in water will give false elevation readings. I posted a clear example of the latter before that related thread was locked.
(Just guessing here) I’d imagine Suunto is aware of this and working on a solution. Like many of the issues we run into, it seems like it would be an easy fix that other companies have somehow figured out. But who knows.
Until then, the general advice is to go back into your affected activities and edit the elevation data manually.
