Why does my altitude drift when I ride in a velodrome?

Altitude deviation is a phenomenon that occurs in the velodrome. It can be caused by environmental factors such as barometric pressure, temperature or air density that may vary. While in a velodrome, you usually have a constant altitude*. The drift phenomenon can be set in post-processing treatment in Golden Cheetah Notio. 

Top Menu -> Tools -> Altitude -> Constant (which equal to 0)



After selecting the constant altitude, it will automatically recompute the data and fix arbitrarily constant altitude to eliminate potential errors.

*Note: So that your elevation does not change when you ride on a velodrome, you must keep the same line and not go up or down in the corners.
