Hi Johann,
So my idea is, to virutally lengthen the roads by the height distance. This is, if a road has 1km and goes straight then it gets an entry of 1 km in the routing data.. If another road has a length of 1km and a height difference of 10m, then it gets a length entry of 1.1km. And a really hilly road with a length of 1km and a height of 100m will get an entry of 2km. In other words, I would add a percentage of the height to the lenght. This should made the etrex choose the flater roads.
What happens when you go downhill, does it make the roads shorter? Personally, I like the hills when I am cycling so I don't think I would use such a feature. Cheers, Mark
