Could you share a route?
I have uploaded a number of routes in Germany from "CycleTravel". In each case the total vertical climb is much higher in Plotaroute. Is this to do with the settings? For example a 70 mile ride in Cycle Travel has 290 ft of climbing (very flat) but when i upload the route into Plot a route, it is 1765 feet (route number 2340493). Soemthing is clearly not working but I cannot figure out what. I have tried unsnapping to map, but this made no difference.
Great feature, thanks John and team
We've just introduced a new hill gradient chart in response to the suggestion below - thanks Mark. You can now toggle between elevation and percentage gradient when looking at the hill profile for your route. Just clcik the 'E | %' switch as shown below:
Thanks for the suggestion Mark - we'll add this to our feature request list and see what we can do.

Hi, I cycled a route yesterday with a couple of hills that were 16% inclines. My GPS (Edge Touring) does not have his facility. Is it possible to show % Gradients on the "hill" graphic, once a route has been plotted or uploaded. Not sure if this is even possible to do.

For anyone interested in this, the Total Ascent is now shown on the elevation profile as well as on the Route Info panel. This will be a approximate as you plot and a final figure is calculated in more detail when the route is saved.
Hi James - You can find the total ascent on Route Info panel - just click the INFO icon on the Action Bar in the bottom right corner of the map once the route has been saved.
Hi, wondering if it would be possible to add a rough total height gained on the route along with the elevation profile?
