WKO+: Elevation Correction not working?

I know lots of people here do the correction so I searched for it but didn't see anything recently.  Is anyone else having a problem using either Ground Control or USGS?  Ground Control doesn't find the webservice and USGS slowly calculates it but the end result is no change to the original Garmin data.  I do the same the run frequently so I know what the data should be - and WKO isn't correcting it.

Thanks for any help!

  • I've heard you just can't really rely on the USGS correction anyway- so you gotta go with Ground Control. I'm not running right now (AAAARG) but I just tried using the Ground Control on a run from a few weeks ago and I have the same problem (it's not finding the webservice). I did a quick search on the TP Forum and I didn't see anything listed about the service being down- but that just means no one reported it yet through their forum.
  • Starting having problems with it Friday night.  Exact same symptoms.  Ground control won't connect and USGS grinds through to 100% complete, but never makes the correction.  I'm on WKO 3.0.  Is it also a problem on the previous version.  I was going to poke around Training Peaks today to see what I could learn.

  • I started getting this problem like 3 weeks ago...interested to hear the solution!

  • This happens to me about once every few months... than someone complains on the TP forums and it works again for a few more months. Very frustrating. I haven't run outside in 4 weeks so I don't know if it is working or not at the moment, but it was working in early Dec for me.

    FWIW, the sport tracks elevation correction works great everytime and does it automatically when you download the file. I'm continuing to play with sport tracks and it has some nice features.
  • I tried it last night and it is now working....   This is the typical routine.  It will periodically stop working and the after a few days get fixed.
