Elevation
| Control | What it does |
|---|
| Fill missing elevation | Looks up the elevation of every point that has none, from terrain data. Elevations that came with the file are kept. |
| Replace all from terrain | Replaces every elevation with terrain data. Use it when a recording's elevation is poor, such as a watch without a barometer. It asks first. |
| Smoothing | Evens out small ups and downs in the elevation (0–100 m) before the profile is drawn and the gain is worked out. Higher is smoother. |
| Gain threshold | How far (0–10 m) the course has to climb before it counts towards the elevation gain, so GPS noise on flat ground is not counted as climbing. |
Terrain data is looked up for the whole course, not just the part on screen. The two sliders change the
profile and the figures on the Info tab together.
Course
| Control | What it does |
|---|
| Reverse direction | Makes the finish the start and the start the finish. Timing points keep their places on the ground and their distances are worked out again. |
| Simplify | Removes points that make no real difference to the shape — any the line would stay within the given number of metres of without them. Tells you how many were removed. Worth doing on a large recorded course (the tool suggests it above 5,000 points): everything gets faster. |
