Cumulated altitude gain calculation

Hello,

I am using a macOS Mojave 10.14.16 with Garmin BaseCamp version 4.8.8.

The map I'm using is "Freizeitkarte_DEU" for Germany. It's topographic map (a friend is using the same on Windows as well).

When I'm creating a track, I can display a graph showing the profile, but BaseCamp doesn't calculate the cumulated altitude gain. The only informations I have at the bottom at the screen is the total distance.

I know that on Windows you can have kind of a summary of your track at the bottom of the screen when you select your track. But except the distance, I have nothing else.

So it means everytime I'm creating a track, I need to transfer it to Garmin Connect to know finally the cumulated altitude gain...

Does anyone have met this kind of issue ?

Also I observed that some options are grey, for example the one to connect different parts of tracks together...

Thank you for your help!

Can't answer your first question but the join tracks together will be grey until you select two or more tracks.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I've selected both tracks (one in green, the other in purple), but it remains grey:

(Join tracks together = "Joindre des tracés" in french).

Also, you can see at the bottom the blue rectangle: only total kilometers are given, no idea why ..

You appear to have the cycling activity selected, try selecting another activity on each track, maybe try direct, and see if that then works?

I tried to change the activity, but still not.

I will contact Garmin support, maybe they have some solution...

Thanks anyway!

Hi,

Just to answer my own question about join tracks together: it's working now. We can't join intineraries, but tracks is working.

But I still can't see cumulated altitude gain..
