Hi,

the calculation of the elevation gain/loss is much to high.

See here https://link.locusmap.app/r/1w8ps3. It calculates 2145 HM!

The same route is stated here on Outdoor Active. There we have around 1600 HM

I hiked this route myself, so the value of Outdoor Active is the realistic one.

When I check the same route on LocusMap Classic and on LocusMap 4, both for Android, I got the same overestimated elevation. The same effect I see also for other routes.

This was not always so. It seems that some time ago there was an update on elevation calculation, which produce wrong and to high elevation gain/loss. E.g. if I just update the elevation data for old tracks on my phone, I got increases of hundreds of HM.

So, please correct this behavior!
