[added] Estimated walking time for track
Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2017 10:22 am
I have found the inclusion of elevation data in Alpinequest really useful especially when creating routes or when importing routes which don't have the elevation included and I now use AQ quite a lot for creating routes as it is very easy to do especially when out walking and when looking for alternatives. After creating a route I can then look up easily the distance, ascent and descent details.
I was wondering if it is possible to have a calculation of the estimated time to walk a route included in the details of the route. This would be based upon user parameters which are entered in advance (similar to having the weight of the user for calculating calories). The parameters would be walking speed (km/hour) on the flat and additional time for ascent (minutes/ per 100 m ascent) and additional time for descent (minutes/ per 100 m descent). Although it is possible to work this out from the details manually for each route it would be so much easier if the calculation was automatic and was there with the other information about the route.
Many thanks
