Is anyone else having problems with elevation showing as 0 (flat).

All my runs in January are showing as no elevation. Last year's runs are fine. I haven't changed anything. Running the same routes, using the same Fitbit watch etc. Other runners in my area have elevation, just not me. I can't find any way to change the settings for it.

It is a bit annoying to be running hills and it not track them at all.

I have messaged Strava help, but they just replied with the help page wording that says it's done using the GPS or base map. It doesn't explain why I'm suddenly not getting any elevation though.

Do you get an elevation if you use the “Correct Elevation” option in the activity and do you see an elevation in the Fitbit app?

My Fitbit app doesn't have elevation, because the Fitbit doesn't record it. Strava has always just popped up automatically.

I didn't know there was an option to correct it. That makes it appear. Thank you Jan 👍🏻
