I've noticed after 2 years of using the Bosch flow app that elevation gain can be inconsistent. I have an 8.5mi local ride that I've ridden 50+ times. Same route, but flow can show a range of 780 ft gain one time and 1100 ft another time. I have not done a mental correlation to weather (temp comparisons). I had an old Note9 phone and now a S26Ultra and notice still the same discrepancy. As I understand it, either barometric pressure and gps of the phone is used to derive the elev value. I have run another app (but not extensively) at the same time and gotten a little more consistency in that app (onX or trailforks).

Anyone else notice this? Any phone settings that would improve the accuracy?
