[Request] Zoomable route altitude profile navigation

Hello Garmin,
would you consider adding a zoomable route altitude profile navigation?

While the way elevation profile worked in F3 was ok for shorter routes (say <20km), it was useless for longer ultraraces.

It would be great to set a user defined scale for elevation profile (5k, 10k, 20k...) and allow the watch to zoom in.

Anyone else would find this useful?

Now, I need to ask.
Is what I'm asking really useless? Nobody is missing such feature?

With zero reactions I'm starting to wonder if what a I asked for is simply useless or maybe I missed my point :)

Any thoughts?

While exchanging mails with the beta team Ive got a confirmation that zoomable elevation is something they are considering!

Me: MISSING FEAUTRE: zoomable elevation plot while navigating a route. While on a 100k (or even 50k) ultra run, elevation plot is not readeable. Please add an option to zoom in / zoom out for a user defined scale (say 5k, 10k, 20k...)

Beta Team: This has been submitted as an improvement request.

Yes, this feature was missing when the elevation profile has been introduced lately in F3.
When you run/hike very long routes in the mountains, the elevation profile as a whole is useless.

Well, ive been asking for that in F3 forum as well but with no luck at all.
Became too happy enough when they re-introduced footpod and dropped the elevation zoom thing.
