Massive elevation gain glitch in Komoot over the last few days? (+1000m on routes)
Has anyone else noticed that Komoot’s elevation calculation has gone completely out of order recently?
For the past few days, every route I plan or check comes up with unrealistically high elevation gains. Up until now, it was always pretty accurate, but right now it doesn't match reality at all.
Just a couple of examples of how bad it is:
- A big loop I regularly check that usually has around 3,500 m of climbing is suddenly showing 4,500 m (an extra 1,000 meters out of nowhere).
- Even official GPX tracks are affected: The official route for the Ötztaler Radmarathon, which historically sits right around 5,500 m of vertical gain, is currently displayed at well over 6,000 m.
I rely heavily on Komoot for route planning, but right now I can't trust the numbers at all. Has anyone else experienced this over the last few days? Did they break their elevation model/DEM data in a recent update?
