Melhores Mapas: Direcções e Elevações
"Unfortunately, the LEAF's navigation system is extremely lacking when taking into account factors when plotting a trip. I've found much better results using a combination of Google Maps and GPS Visualizer.
First, we to go to Google Maps and use the "Get Directions" link to plot my trip. I'll frequently click on "Show Options" and select "Avoid highways" in order to reduce my average speed to better my range.
Second, we click on "Link" and copy the email link displayed. Then we go to GPS Visualizer, select "Profiles (elevation, etc.)," change my units to "U.S." and then paste the email link in the "Or provide the URL of data on the Web" box. Click on "Draw the profile" to visualize any elevation changes.
At this point, I'll usually go back to Google Maps and drag the route around and re-run the email link through the GPS Visualizer in order to determine the route that not only has the shortest distance, but also has the most gradual elevation changes to help better my efficiency.
If there are other websites that can help provide information to better plan routes, please feel free to let us know!
IBELEAF provided the following Google elevation map that appears to work just as well as GPS Visualizer:
