Maybe a Request for the elevation profile?

    Hi Joe,

    really like the plugin (that’s why I to also take care of the Italian translation).

    Got a question regarding the elevation gain calculation. I know my question maybe does not belong to the Waymark plugin itself, but it would be amazing to add this feature.
    Seeing that the elevation recorded by any GPS device is prone to error and seeing that Waymark does only a simply math operation for giving us that number, usually the elevation gain is always bigger than it should be (tried few times, the error seems to be around 10% with my device).

    Do you suggest to smooth the GPX points with other software prior to upload it to Waymark? Or could you add a smoothing feature to the plugin?

    Thanks

    Hi @erkinson,

    Thanks for reaching out and for your translation contributions!!! 🇮🇹♥️🇮🇹

    As for elevation inaccuracies, something was raised recently about this; so I appreciate that there is room for improvement here.

    Do you suggest to smooth the GPX points with other software prior to upload it to Waymark?

    At the moment yes, this is something I have to do on occasion also.

    Or could you add a smoothing feature to the plugin?

    Improving the Line and Elevation tools are definitely on my nice-to-have list!

    Feel free to reach out if you have any more queries 🙂

    Cheers,

    Joe
