Does anyone know if there is a way to show total ascent for planned routes? It only seems to show total ascent for the tracks recorded but not for the planned routes despite all the required info seems to be in there(elevation, path & distance).
There currently isn't a way to get asc/des for a route which is an oversight. For now you'll have to convert it into a track and see it there. I'll create a case to add it.
Thanks, that's a pretty major oversight IMO consider knowing the total elevation gain is one of the most important things for many outdoor activities...
I just converted to track to see what happens, but both ascent & descent box show "0". is that bug or something needs to be done to get the correct value?
For people who might run into similar problem, for now I'm using "show in google earth" -> "show elevation profile" to check the total elevation gain.

You need to be using a map with DEM for the converted track to have elevation. I converted a route to a track while using a 24K Topo map and the asc/desc worked fine as did the elevation chart. It turns out the elevation chart worked fine on the route, it just doesn't show the total ascent and descent.

I am using the TOPO 24k Northeast. yea the elevation chart works fine, that's why I said all the needed info is there and all it needs is a field to add them up for the total ascent, but it's just not there. Tried it again, it still shows "0" for both ascent & descent in track.

Would you post a gpx file with the track and route? I'd like to see if we can fix the problem. Thanks.
I may be missing something, but I can see the ascent atnd descent for the track just fine.
Is this not what you are seeing?
Oh that's weird! For me they all show 0, the only difference I can see between yours and mine is that I set it to metric. I'm not in front of the computer right now but will check it in imperial later.
ok when I converted to US, it doesn't show "0" anymore but it shows my whole trip's ascent was "1 ft"
Well...that's progress. I switched to metric and it's still showing valid values for ascent and descent. Is your elevation plot valid? Are the track point elevations valid?
Can you highlight the track and see what the status bar says. Mine has:
Can you also import the track from the GPX file you posted and see if that shows something different?
