Hi Steve,

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

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.

Hi John,

Thanks for your message :-)
The file size limit is 40M, there must be other thing wrong with your file. Can you send me by mail your GPX file, i will check it and try to find a solution -> contact@sportrouteplanner.com

This is an awesome resource, thank you. I've successfully uploaded a gpx file from a 10k race and everything worth great. When I tried to load a gpx file from a Marathon, I receive an error once the file is 100% loaded. Is there a file size limit? It seems that all my files larger that 1.8MB result in the same error. Thank you. Again, I really appreciate the effort to generate this awesome tool.

Hi SkiNoU,

Thanks for your message, i found the problem it's corrected now, you will get altitude and elevation profile.

I let you try...

Hi there,

I've been using the site recently to plans some new hikes in Australia and the topography computation feature doesn't seem to be working anymore: not getting any altitude computed, nor elevation profile.

Let me know if you need more details.
Excellent website though, Thanks!
