[QUOTE="islandwalker, post: 703907, member: 31931"] Yes, indeed, they do look pretty steep! On the IGN map, the departure point for Errezil (red circle) looks like it is at about 840 meters and the casa rural in Errezil is at about 350 meters. Happily, over the last year Wikiloc has added several new tools that make it possible to see accurate figures for elevation changes and distances on their website. Although I realize using GPX tracks is not something that everyone on the forum wants to do, for anyone who wants to investigate alternative trails to connect to accommodations, to detour around bad weather or trail obstructions, or to find intersecting trails, here are some hints that might help. 1. To see accurate elevation changes, one way is to open the [URL='https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/errezil-hernio-gazume-jiva-2970625']Wikiloc track[/URL] you are interested in on a [U]computer[/U] and click on "[I]map"[/I] view rather than "[I]satellite"[/I] view in the upper right corner of the screen. [LIST] [*]This changes the background for the Wikiloc track to an IGN map showing topographical lines in 10 meter gradients. [*]If the IGN background map is not the map view that pops up, you may need to use the "[I]more maps[/I]" drop-down menu and choose "Mapa Ráster (IGN)". [*]Note that you have to zoom in quite a bit for the topo lines to be clearly visible. If you are too far out, the IGN map looks like a regular street map without topo lines visible. [*]There are also 9 other map choices in the drop-down menu labeled "[I]more maps[/I]." Several of them have topo lines. [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" alt="51649"]51649[/ATTACH] Note: To see the IGN map on the Wikiloc app on your [U]phone[/U], you either have to be connected to wifi or have downloaded the IGN map for offline use. Click on the circular map symbol at the top right of the phone screen, and it takes you to your choices. 2. A second way to see elevation information on Wikiloc is to use the elevation graph at the bottom of the track window. [LIST] [*]Move your cursor along the elevation line on the graph and you will see a blue dot appear. There will be a matching blue dot moving along the track on the map. [*]The two dots move simultaneously, giving a good picture of what the trail is actually doing in terms of distance and elevation since you can see both at once. [*]You can accurately measure elevation and distance on the ground between any two points on your track by using this blue dot feature. [*]In the photo below, for example, the blue dot on the elevation graph matches the point where a track leaves the [URL='https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-senderismo/camino-vasco-interior-3-saskarate-alto-de-mandubia-por-saiatz-5878829']camino variant[/URL] at Ernio and descends to meet the road at Errezil. This portion of the track leaves the GR 34 at an elevation of 835 meters and descends for 3 kilometers, meeting the main road at 413 meters. (This is the actual ground distance recorded by the GPS unit of the person who contributed the track to Wikiloc, not the "crow flies" distance.) [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" alt="51653"]51653[/ATTACH] These Wikiloc features have been quite useful for us; if anyone has any questions about how to use them, I'd be glad to help. Elaine [/QUOTE]
