Why is my Strava data different to Garmin?
Under normal conditions, differences should be minimal when comparing distance or speed metrics on Strava versus the GPS device, but any small inconsistencies are likely due to number crunching on both ends – Strava processes and analyzes the data in the file independently, whereas most GPS devices tabulate these …
Is my Garmin or Strava more accurate?
As usual, the numbers for distance are different. The Garmin consistently gives marginally shorter distances, and we are starting and finishing within 1 to 2 meters of each other. The Garmin GPS gave me a distance that was more than 500meters less than the Strava.
Does Strava automatically sync with Garmin?
Connect your Garmin device to get an array of Strava features that you can use on the go. Once you’re connected, activities uploaded to Garmin Connect via bluetooth or computer will automatically sync to Strava so you can streamline your workout routine.
How accurate is Strava for running?
Their algorithm is quite complicated. I would think that for total distance, Strava is accurate within 1-2\%. It sometimes has ‘jumps’ in timing which as stated can either improve or worsen your segment times significantly. Just used Strava for the first time, on a 2 mile run from my house.
Why is Garmin and Strava elevation gain different?
Why does my elevation on Strava look different from my device’s elevation? Because elevation data derived from a GPS signal is fairly inaccurate, Strava automatically corrects elevation derived from a GPS source by consulting elevation databases to determine the elevation at each point in the activity.
How do I make Strava GPS more accurate?
Settings > Additional Settings > Battery & performance > Manage apps battery usage > apps > Strava. Settings > Additional Settings > Privacy > Location > ensure you are using High Accuracy for Location Mode and allowing location access.
Why is my Strava average speed slower than Garmin?
Garmin average speed is your average speed including stops so it will be lower (on Connect you can see your average moving speed as well. It is usually slightly different from Strava’s due to what speed value is used as a cut off – it is higher than 0 to remove GPS drift errors.) Only if you’ve not set it correctly.
Why is my Garmin not syncing with Strava?

Why is my Strava not syncing?
Try recording a new activity, saving, and uploading that activity to see if it pushes any missing or pending uploads to your account.

How to tell the difference between Garmin and Strava?
Strava only shows tenths for distance. Garmin will show something 2.34 km while Strava says 2.3 and completely ignores the .04. Yeah, but Garmin says 5.4 and Strava says 5.3. I think its the moving versus elapsed time thing. I did stop to tie my shoes a couple times.
Why does Strava recalculate my activity’s distance with bad GPS data?
There is a threshold of outlier/bad GPS data that will cause Strava’s file parser to recalculate your activity’s distance by blending the GPS and device distance together in order to correct those areas with bad GPS/device data.
