Improve route planning + elevation calc on routes with tunnels
-
Hi, I was today hiking the Ruta del Cares in Spain. To my surprise, while the trail actually only has about 500m of elevation gain when hiking southward, Mapy showed me 1400m of elevation gain: https://mapy.com/s/fekudulazo.
This is obvously a huge issue when wanting to plan a hike.
The main difference between this hike and the other hikes I planned with mapy is that this hike had quite a few tunnel and gallery sections - I suspect the reason is that Mapy does not make use of tunnel tags in OSM data and just treates the horizontal data like it were on top of a mountain?
It would be amazing to get this fixed! -
@Julian-J. Hi, thanks for reporting this and for providing the route! We’ll check the elevation profile and investigate what is causing the incorrect elevation gain. We’ll also look into whether the tunnel/gallery sections could be the reason.
Thanks for helping us improve Mapy.com! -
@Ewelina
To je ale dlouhodobý problém obecně že Mapy.com nerespektují tunely ani mosty a počítají nadmořskou výšku z modelu terénu jakoby tyto stavby neexistovali
