Is it any wonder you don't know what to list as actual elevation?
Check out these two routes. I've ridden both. In actuality, Around the Mountain (ATM) has less climbing than the Dam Corners Route (DC) because the routes are the same except for one extra climb on the later. Veronica recorded from her Polar that ATM (routeslip created by someone else) had 2,720' climbing. Routeslip calculated 3,663'. The DC route with my newly added climb of Cantelow is 3,457' as recorded by my Ciclosport, but routeslip says 2,899'.
I'd say take the climbing on any of these mapping tools as "guidelines only."
