After I climbed what felt like several mountains on my run yesterday, I was disappointed to see Garmin only gave me 46 MTs of elevation. I then trailed the cursor over the green elevation graph, and all the little rises I went up are there, but not included in the splits. It's about 30 MTs adrift - anyone able to explain this?

I can't help with the technical reason CG maybe something to do with the scale. I know that sometimes I run what feels like, and clearly is, a hilly run and then when I look at my Garmin page it looks relatively flat!
You could pm MarkyD as he's a bit of an technical guru.
