More configurable dashboard altitude graph
Hello, I suggest to make small dashboard graph more configurable as for displayed X/Y scope (because current model doesn't provide much useful information about true upcoming ascent/descent in context of whole route).
I realize current horizontal context is too "narow". I'm suggesting to let user configure how much km behind and in front of current position the graph will show and also let user choose how range showed on graph will imply
- from currently shown horizontal range vertical limits
- from whole track vertical limits.
Second variant will ensure that same hill slope will be displayed with same slope on the dashboard everywhere on the track.
Eventually if the track allows it the vertical range from whole track can be zoomed 2x, 3x or more times in current display scope to show the profile more expressive.
For example the track altitude minimum is 200m, the maximum is 1000m, so the vertical extents will be 800m in every place. Optionally 4x zoomed the effective vertical scope will be 200 height meters (centered around current distance scope's verical minimum and maximum). I that's not too clear, I'll try to explain differently.
I like this idea 
fantastic idea, after cycle touring for last 6 weeks I would love this extra function, I would be using it a lot!

Recently I reported a similar issue with the dashboard navigation chart which the support refused as not a problem.
You can have a preview of few kilometres with the navigation chart, but the elevation line is just flat when the max elevation gain is somewhere later on the track. So it is rather useless.
The track snippet should be scalable to the cell height.

cool idea!
cool idea!
i Think the whole graph should be displayed and have the possibility to zoom in. That would be perfect!

I voted it for NINE years ago - ha ha. But to be honest, it's now possible to tap on the partially recorded track & display more info than just altitude eg. slope/ gradient, so I don't miss it now.

I too was looking for this a while back but now am more than happy with the Route Detail display which shows elevation for the entire planned route; I can bring this up with 2 clicks and compare the hill I’m on now with those yet to come!

Sure, you can see the elevation and slope in the track info.
But ths thread is about the dashboard graph where you can see your position live in a floating segment of few km of the track ahead in fine derails, which is extremely helpful.
The question is, whether ths desktop graph could be made configurable.
My favorite omprovement would be if the graph could zoom in/out in front of a climb section of configurable length and steepness.
This would be similar to the ClimbPro feature in Garmin Edge:
"Using ClimbPro
The ClimbPro function helps you to better manage your effort for the next climbs on a route
. Before the tour, you can view details of the climbs, including their position, the average
gradient and the total ascent. The climb categories are based on length and gradient and are displayed in color
The ClimbPro page is automatically displayed at the start of a climb."
