Elevation gain totally wrong

Hi everyone,

I noticed a big discrepancy in elevation gain when comparing what OsmAnd shows vs. what's actually in the GPX data.

I planed a route using OsmAnd, and the app displays an elevation gain of 3589 meters. However, when I open the same GPX file in GPX.studio, it shows an elevation gain of over 11,000 meters.

To rule out any issue with GPX.studio, I tested a Komoot-generated track (with ~3400 m elevation gain). GPX.studio also showed ~3400 m there – so no error.

It seems like OsmAnd significantly underestimates elevation gain in its own statistics view. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to make OsmAnd display more accurate elevation gain based on actual GPX data?

Thanks!
