Hi. I'm beginning planning a route in Spain using the app. I'm sure that when I used it last year in France, the total height gain & loss was shown, but all I get now is the profile. But if I open Cycletravel off the net, it's all there. 

Is there a problem, or is my recollection wrong? It's useful to know the different height gains on different routes as it's a hilly area we're going to. 

Thanks.

It’s not shown in the app yet. It’s absolutely on the list to do but it’s a surprisingly large amount of code to do (essentially we need to smooth the raw elevation data in order to get an accurate-ish figure, and that’s complex) and I haven’t had the chance to port it from the website yet.

Hi Richard,

Thanks very much for this. I'll look forward to it appearing. 

Keep up the good work!
