Thanks Stephen - I was not very observant before. That is exactly what I needed.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for your message :-)

Il you speak about start & end marker, i had a option to hide them.
This option is available on top left of the map.

I really like your site and am enjoying using it to create GPX files which I can then analyse (I study the relationship between distance, gradient and walking time). But I find a small but irritating problem when I am creating a route, which I don't know how to solve. Sometimes the distance marker that is created when I click on a new waypoint sits on top of the next location that I want to choose - so I can't see the map underneath, or choose the location. Instead, I have to dodge to one side or another. Is there a way round this problem?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your message.
Elevation and Topography calculation for New Zealand is now corrected (there was a little bug).

Hi there,

When I hit Elevation and Topography to get an elevation profile it says its calculating but after there is no result. Saved route is Wakatipu Mini Brevet 2010. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Above the map, you have the possibility to reverse it and auto-follow roads by left click ;-)

Hi, I use a Mac so no left/right click? How do i 'snap' to roads.

Hi,

Happy New Year everyone :-)

@Nima: It's noted, I'm trying to add this feature for an upcoming site update.

@Max: The search engine work fine on the page http://www.sportdistancecalculator.com/search.php
What problem you got? And which navigator do you use?

@Khaleesi: Thank you ;-)

Thank you. You have done an excellent job.
Would it be possible to include the Km (or Mile) Markers as Waypoints when exporting the file? At present it shows the "milestones" on the map but does not then include them in the file to be exported. Thanks!

Hello folks,
Why search engine cannot find any routes?

Very nice work, you've got the the best distance calculator online !

Hi Chris,

I added an option to show the coordinates of km or mile markers on the map, to see it you have to click on the marker. The coordinates are displayed in the info-bubble.

Hi,

I am importing a GPX file for a marathon route. Is there any way that I can use sportrouteplanner to either save a GPX with mile markers, or at least give me an option to display the co-ordinates on the mile markers in the main map?

Kind regards
Chris

Hi Reza,

Thanks for your message.
By default the topography calculation includes all the points of your route. But in case of many altitude variations or long distance, the result can be higher than in fact.
The "smoothing" allows you to choose to ignore the points which altitude difference is less than the chosen value (prevents small climbs and descents to be accumulated).
For short route the best value is 2m but for long route or route with hight elevation change, 10m is better.

As others have stated, that this is a great resource and I thank you for building it! However, I have a question about the smoothing that can be applied to the altitude/topography calculator. I've noticed that choosing different levels of smoothing will greatly impact the results. So, the question becomes what is the right amount of smoothing? I think your calculator defaults to <2m. Is that the suggested smoothing level? When I imported a gpx cycling route I had, the difference between applying no smoothing and <2m smoothing resulted in a 300 m difference in elevation gain! Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
