How to correct the elevation profile in WKO+

On some rides, especially when using a training device that uses a barometric altimeter when the barometric pressure is changing, you'll have erroneous elevation data in WKO+.  You can now also do this in TrainingPeaks.com!

1. Load your ride into WKO+ and go to the Graph View.

2. Be sure the entire ride is selected.

3. Go to the edit menu and select Corrections > Fix Elevation Profile using GPS

4. A window will pop up with your elevation profile and the option to use USGS or Ground Control. Ground Control contains the USGS database.

5. Click Begin and WKO+ will contact the server and adjust the elevation for each data point in the ride.

6.  If you believe the correction is better than the original, click Apply.
