Hi All, I'm very glad that er is progress with this. Getting really exited for this. Yes the request is for planning purposes and not for real data.
If we are on the bicycle you want to now how hilly some roads are and it does not matter how precise it is. I'm talking about hill with up and downs like 500 meter as we are cycling the world from Europe to africa and from africa to azia en onwards. The way I'm doing it now is to move the screen along the planned route and to get an idea how elevation go. Or go online first to see it on some websites. When I have several roads i do this for each road. Just a visual representation of this would be much more faster way. Is the feature implemented to be used in a planning a route?
