Web Route Planner: Calculate Elevation When Planning Routes in Manual Mode

When planning a route in the web route planner, if a route section is drawn manually (instead of e.g. "Walking") on off-track areas of the map, the distance is updated, but not the elevation loss/gain.

This limits you a lot if you want to plan a route off the existing tracks.

It would be really helpful to be able to plan routes anywhere using the web planner and to have the elevation calculated.

Hi, I second this.

It would also be so more helpful to see the manual route elevation profile instead of a flat sea level ;-)

Thanks in advance for considering this, and have a good one :-)

Hi team, any update on this?

Looks like web planner does not have as easy access to elevation data as the app does. So when bypassing the routing service for manual mode, elevation data is also not available. Perhaps manual darw should be a function of the routing service too? Either way, this is not just a feature request, but another inconsistencty between webplanner and app route planner which is most likely already on teams TODO list ;)
