 * Hi, I’ve been experimenting with using Waymark on my forthcoming WordPress site.
   It has a focus on indoor cycling and virtual rides. I am looking at using Waymark
   to display route maps on the virtual course with elevation. I love the fact that
   I can see the elevation underneath the map however it would be really useful 
   if the gradient value could be displayed. Is gradient values on the roadmap?

 * Hi [@jamespaulphoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamespaulphoto/),
 * Thanks for reaching out, sounds like an interesting project!
 * With gradients, would you like this information displayed as a percentage value
   displayed on the elevation chart itself? For certain/all parts of a Line? I’m
   not sure how it could be determined which part of a Line the gradient is being
   displayed for… I’m guessing you would mainly be interested in displaying steep
   gradients or gradients over a certain amount?
 * The [plugin](https://github.com/MrMufflon/Leaflet.Elevation#how-to-use) Waymark
   uses for displaying elevation does not seem to support gradients and honestly
   even if it did this would probably be quite a bit of work to integrate. So I 
   can’t see this feature being added any time soon.
 * There have been other elevation requests however, so I will keep this in mind
   for the future because I definitely want to improve the Elevation features.
 * Thanks for the feedback 🙂
 * Cheers,
 * Joe

 * Thank you for the reply, appreciate it. I would love it to display on the elevation
   graph with the distance and elevation data so when you scroll across the elevation
   graph you see all 3 pieces of data (sort of like Veloviewer). I create the route
   using OS Maps then use a product called GPX Magic to refine the route. This is
   then imported into RGT which is an indoor cycling training app. RGT must perform
   a calculation using the long/lat data with elevation information as it displays
   the gradient and then pushes that to a device called KICKR Climb which raises
   the height of the bikes front wheel. All pretty cool. My hope is to display that
   on screen before a rider decides they want to ride this route within RGT. Cyclists
   love knowing the gradient of the ride before they do it.
