Tell us your idea!

I knew it exists, but was not able to find it for about half a year now - finally even thought I just fantasized it. until I accidentally found it again this weekend: The elevation profile for individual routes. ;)

Just in case there are some more who do not know how to get it:

  1. you need an individual route which contains a cache as routing point
  2. long press click this cache routing point in the exact correct way (which is already hard enough, believe me ;) )
  3. if you did it right, the Select item popup will contain the cache plus an entry called Individual route
  4. click this Individual route entry and yeah there you are: The elevation profile will finally pop up. ;)

Most astonishingly this select menu does not always appear. Most of the times the route edit popup appears - did not yet manage to understand the rules ... and even if you get the Individual route entry, this does not always mean you will get the elevation profile. Like now ... tried to get it just for testing, but could manage to get it ... so even now that I thought I am pretty sure to know how to get it, I can't. Frustrating.

What solution would you suggest?

  • Add Show elevation profile (resp. an appropriate icon) to the route's context/edit menu
  • Add Show elevation profile to the route's bottom sheet
  • Moreover I would highly appreciate an elevation profile for "normal" routes, too :)
  • Perhaps one has a deterministic way to get the profile even now ...? ;)

Is there an alternative?

Just a short tap on the route opens the elevation view as well.

That's good to know - thanks.

However, I wanted to show this really useful feature (especially for bike cachers) to some people at the event tonight, but failed completely. So, are there any additional requirements that need to be met for this function to be displayed? And which ones?

Maybe this?
It's available on UnifiedMap only

Good idea - did not check ... and at least one device that was the reason. :) THX!
