Add a setting to ignore elevation data from device altimeter by default

[BrookeA]

I'd like a setting in Strava that would allow all activities to use elevation data from the Strava basemap by default instead. It gets tedious having to choose this setting after every activity and sometimes I can forget and that ruins my elevation stats.

This would be so helpful for those of us with Garmin watches that notoriously get the elevation data wrong!

+1 Karoo is always wilding on elevation data

My watch and my bike computer's elevation are often very different. As to which is most accurate -- that debate has been raging on forever. I would rather just use Strava's elevation correction for all of my activities, or default to my device (if someone has the one-true device). 

Being able to retro-actively correct my activities elevation en masse would also be wonderful.
