Elevation graph and scale (and other graphs)

Former Member over 13 years ago

The elevation graph on GC is useless.

My "normal" run take me from an altitude of 33 meters to 67 meters MSL. The scale of the altitude graph starts -200 meter MSL and goes 100+ meters MSL. SO my run looks very flat.

I would like the elevation graph to scale, such as to exagerate the altitude as much as possible. I.e. go from 30 -> 70 meters, or exactly the 33->67 meters.

There used to be zoom buttons to make this work, but they are gone.

As for the HR graph, I am missing some option to do something almost the same, but here I want to be able to enter a minimum HR to display, such that I will only see HR from 150 to 180. If I start the watch before warming up, I will get a low HR of <60, and that makes it difficult to see changes in HR during excercise.

Hi,

I agree completely with this. The scale of the altitude is not useful at all.
I also fully agree regarding the HR graph, but I would also like to see this function on the timing/speed graph. If you have one break in the excercise (only for a few seconds is enough) there will be one or a few point of very slow speed making the graph useless.

In the player the altitude graph is displayed properly but you still have the same problem with the puls and speed graphs.
In the player I would also like to see a function making it possible to zoom on the X-axis so I could study a part of an excercise in greater details. For example, I always run one km as fast as I can when I run my regular 10km training. However, I can't really see this part in the graphs because of the lack of zoom possibilities.

Agreed. Would love to see this fixed. It might only be presentational, but it would look more impressive! ;-)

I think this is still valid, and I would like this to be implemented. Right now all my runs show nearly flat elevation graph.

+1 on that.

I agree that the default zoom level isn't ideal. One thing that should be noted is that you can select an area of the graph to zoom in on. It works well with Chrome...

The default zoom is poor, being able to change the scale would be very useful indeed

Would be nice to fix, my starting elevation is 1100m with a elevation gain/loss of 100m on each run but still looks flat.

Has there been any update on this.

Is anyone from Garmin actually looking at this and taking note ?

Looks like people have been asking for this fix for years now and nothing has been done. No wonder strava is taking over, they at least innovate and update their analytics.

tagging this to see if anything will get done...

How hard would this be to implement? Looking at pace with an overlay of elevation to see how it effects pace is useless with scale of 300 feet to 1400 feet.
