It would be good to have total ascent and total descent in the trip computer rather than having to wait until you upload your track onto a computer and read it on a mapping software to know how much you have climbed. We would know directly on the field, after the climb. Besides, if you don’t have the digital map of the climb in your computer, you won’t ever know how much you have climbed. Obviously this GPS is not catered for climbers. Any climber around? If anyone else is interested, please reply to this post.
