Hey,

I've noticed that for short rides (under 5miles) the elevation graph seems quite verbose. Where as longer rides draws it quite accurately. I was testing out Strava to see how they process logs, and it seems to get the short rides looking more like the elevation I ride.

I used two different GPX files in tracklog and in strava, these are the results...

Short ride:

Long ride:

Not sure why the short ride would get very different outputs compared to the longer rides (other than its a bigger log). I can send you both the GPX files if you need to see them.
