Request - Elevation Profile in BaseCamp

How about making the elevation profile reversible left-to-right? The profile normally displays the track with the beginning on the left and the destination end on the right which is fine if you are traveling west to east. If traveling east to west it is "backwards", if that makes sense. As you move the cursor along the profile, the "man with the flag" moves in the opposite direction on the map. For me, its a "visual" thing.

Not sure what you'd do if on a N-S track!!!

This is probably one of these features that is somewhat unlikely to be implemented.

I am not denying that it might have some usefulness, but as far as I know elevation profiles being left-to-right is a pretty established standard.

If you're referring to the elevation profile itself (i.e. not the axis etc) then you can simply "invert" the track. I've done it before.

To Invert a track: right click on it and select Advanced -> Invert Selected Track.

I suggest doing a track "Duplicate" first and invert the copy so you can reference the original if desired.
