Ascent remaining ... gross vs net?

Was on a ride, using the new combined distance + ascent remaining graphical field, and it was telling me there was only 130ft of climbing remaining, while everyone else on my ride was talking about their Garmin's saying there was a 300ft. climb just ahead.

So it made me wonder if the ascent remaining was subtracting the downhills from the ascent remaining number, or if the Karoo had different elevation data than the Garmins.

  Probably the latter, or some difference in how the two devices mark the start/stop point of a climb. When I was using my Garmin, it regularly overstated the amount of climb remaining. Often it would tell me I had 50+ feet to go, then a split second later I'd be done.
