Hi Orux!


QuoteDevice and elevation data

For devices with a barometric altimeter the elevation data is taken as is from the file. Otherwise it is recomputed using the provided lat/lng points and an elevation database. More information.



Device type is detected in all file types from standard 'creator' tags. These tags are then matched to a list of known devices. In some cases the name of the device will be displayed along with the activity details on strava.com.



A generic "with barometer" device is provided to force the system to use the elevation data from TCX and GPX file types. One only needs to add "with barometer" to the end of the creator name. For example, a TCX file would include something like:


<gpx version="1.1" creator="Best app ever with Barometer">
