Just checked out the elevation stats on my Garmin which has the 'elevation correction' on Garmin connect enabled, similar to motionbased. For my weekend ride it showed 780m climb on my Garmin but only 500m climb on mapmyride.com. I then checked the info on UK 70.3 in Wimbleball which is 1750m climb as per organizers, but on mapmyride.com it only shows only 1070m.
I also entered the same courses into runsaturday.com and get yet another result - what to believe?

You also have to enter your weight correctly.
Compared to other methods (other gadgets, what the literature says) I find my plain 405 to be reasonably accurate - i.e. nothing like 50% out.
a 2 hr bike ave 20mph i get around 2000kcal. for an 80 miler i got 6500 kcal!!
