Dynamic slope

The August shared this idea 3 years ago

Hi all,

it would be greate to have an dynamic slope feature, just like the dynamic elevation feature, but with showing the slope in percentage instead of the elevation in meter above the cursor.

At the moment I have to plan a route, save it, and then check the chart, where I have enabled the slope and altitude.

Especially for planning bike tours it's important to know the slope on a point (on a path/street).

Hey The A,

I was looking for a settings option similar to yours then I stumbled across your post. I'm looking for the same feature (slope) to be displayed along the Cursor to GPS line. I understand that you can set the altitude difference to be displayed along the Cursor to GPS line (see photos) but I'm more interested in what the slope is from my current altitude to any given elevation on the map. Ideally I'd like it to be displayed as a ratio (5:1) rather than a percentage but I'd still be happy with a percentage. I really hope they add this feature as it is a main calculation for my sport. I can always pull out my calculator and divide the number above the line by the number below the line but at the rate at which I move the cursor around it would be a lot of time and effort for something that I need calculated on the spot and that can easily be displayed instantaneously.

Hope they can make it happen,

Jonathan
