Elevation graph and scale (and other graphs)

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.

    Well, it's easy fix to someone who knows a little what he/she doing, it's not so easy if you are totally clueless, which that kind of "feature" for 11 years makes me think the people working with GCW are. That's the reasoning me saying it should be easy and not just calling it easy. 

    They seem to be using just https://www.highcharts.com it's pretty nice library, but it's how do you use it. Like it should be smart, they probably need to do extra work to get the charts to be so stupidly scaled.

    This is still an issue and seems like an easy improvement.  The Y-axis on the elevation graph (and others) should adjust based on the activity itself.  Strava is doing this and Garmin should too.
