software or app to show gradient of hills etc

[footpump]

hello all where I live its fairly hilly is there a android phone app software google maps ? or a cycle route planner that gives gradient or relevant info on an intented route .

I wish to do a route (s oxhey nr Watford herts to bovingdon market) this involves main roads, cycle paths and odd bits of track, is about 10 miles hilly and takes me about 1.5 hours on normal cycle with a fair bit of pushing up the steeper bits.
I then want to compare the same route when my ebike arrives.

I have a garmin edge 200 but I don't think my model shows elevation etc.


not sure if this is the correct section to post this topic, but might be interesting to know how steep hills / inclines are.


thank you all

Strava has a very good free route planner. The Garmin will show you the elevation gain of each ride.

+1 for strava. I also like Endomondo as it allows you to choose parameters are displayed on your screen, plus if you have android 4.3 or above the recent update of the app has allowed you to display you live info on your lockscreen which has cured the problem of screen timeout which a was total pain when wearing winter gloves.

This doesn't give gradients, but it's a great tool - I found it surprisingly accurate!

Not really set up for phone use though.

thanks all for replies I have just found something similar on the WOOSH bike homepage a predicter which gives approx. range elevation but am not sure if this is pas throttle etc.

I entered my journey 11miles one way 36v 10.4 ah gradient 8,5 if I manage 15mph I may only have 12% left in battery after 22 miles round trip?

will try the electo bike range one

thanks all just what I was looking for.

Clinometer does exactly what you want.

I use this if I'm worried before I set off, it goes off OS maps so accurate enough for most.

If you mark on the left map it plans a route for you, if you mark on the right map it goes as the crow flys.

If you download garmin training centre software and import your ride into it, it will show the gradients on the ride you have done.
