|
|
Helo all,
When I use Satsync to transfer MM GPX files to my Satmap, I can't see the elevation info when I look at the profile of a route.
Is this normal?
Cheers,
Evan |

This is normal behaviour as the SatMap reads the height data from its own map, putting a route from a third party application on the device will not contain the vital information.
What I tend to do is keep the waypoints down to a small amount and display the route on the device, go to edit route and select each waypoint in turn, once this is done you should be able to see the height data in the route profile on the device, as selecting the waypoints in turn lets the device read the map height data - Mike |

But this is not true. The Memory Map problem referred to arises because MM does not export elevation data. When you plan a route on the A10 is uses its internal elevation data but if you import a route or track which contains elevation data, the A10 uses this for its profile. I have done this importing a gpx file containing track data, including elevation data, from a Garmin. |
