New build track shows no height information?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Yesterday I build a simple route with a bunch of waypoints. Basecmp made a track with 551 points out of it. It shows the height details (a bit weired, with multiple ups and downs) and the distance, but not the overall height, so it is a bit difficult to judge how exhausting the track will be. See attached images...any ideas?

Not sure what you mean by overall height? Do you mean all the climbs added together? If so don't believe that is available.

Every gps track I through into basecamp shows the overall height, added together. That is crucial to decide how tough the tour is going to be...See attached the same tour, after I rode it and have it recorded by the gpmap 62...

Your 62 may record it, but for a track you've created in BaseCamp I don't believe 'overall height' (if I understand what you mean) is available.

Maybe, but it is a very useful feature. This track I built was quite challenging - I could have known this before I started with this feature on. How can basecamp know the height of the waypoints and cannot show the resulting height of the track. This track had 500HM overall height. 200 more and I would have to call someone to pick me up halfways...:-(
