    I have created two routes using mapmyride and so far love all I see. However, I am interested in a total elevation change for the routes.  Does this site do that?  Is it here and I just don't know how to do it?  duh!  thanks

    Hi I think you just need to click on the show elevation check box on the map of your route

    When nI do that, it shows a nice graphic but doesn't list a total elevation gain?? Am I missing it?

    I find the ascent and descent figures grossly inaccurate.  I usually download the .csv file and use excel to calculate the elevation change at the smallest mileage interval.  I have come up with 1200 feet of climbing on a fairly typical ride while the ascent figure next to the elevation graph only says I did about 700 feet.  Perhaps I'm missing something and there is a good reason for the differences.  I don't know.

    Hmm just checked some of my routes, some display the ascent and descent values and some don't.

    I have also  noticed them to be out, on one ride I do it displays an ascent of 0! I know I end a lot higher than I started :)

     Must be a bit of a bug...

    Anyone know if this has been fixed??? Or should we add the ascent and descent then multiply by the # of climbs??? hee hee Any suggestions?

     I just established a new route and agree that the total ascent and total desent are very inaccurate.  This is what I know:

    The distance/elevation data in the downloaded.CSV file appears to be accurate.

    The calculated total ascent and total decent in the .CSV file is wrong, but formulas can be inserted to make it calculate correctly.  

        Ascent Column: =IF(B2-B3>0,0,ABS(B2-B3))

        Decent Column: =IF(B2-B3<0,0,ABS(B2-B3))

     Graphing the distance/elevation yields a profile that appears exactly like the one in the program. 

    This feature worked in Routeslip, why not in MapMyRide??

    That's the question everyone has been asking, and hasn't gotten a straight answer to yet.  They bought the code, it should have been easy to implement.  Even if they were using a different coding tool for MMR, the functionality is there, it's just a matter of porting to a different language.

    It may be there, but it certainly doesn't work properly.  I would think that if I do an out and back, that I should see a symmetrical elevation plot.  That's not the case.

    it seems like it may be something closer to 'max ascent' and not 'elevation gain' (which is crap)

    This is the third GPS Trainer App. that I've used now which fails to display a simple  total of elevation gained. I can see the graph with locations of ascent and decent, but not a running total. Very wierd...
