Hiking Trip Plans

[kepPNW]

Just to stir the coals a bit...

Doing a Q&D in Basemap, it comes up with 41.0 miles, 8000' ascent, and 13700' descent.

Google Earth takes the export, and says it's 40.2 miles, +6650', -12400'.

Nothing to redeem yourself over

Nice info except for the EG

Yeah, this has been hashed and re-hashed

Hard to get good numbers

For each step you have to raise each foot maybe 1 foot. And your body goes up and down a little.

What I like is when I stop and rest, there's a little cloud of positions created. If I can rest long enough I can get some serious elevation gain and distance

I guess that would make you a Loony rest hiker then ?

There you go - a Loony rest hiker

Except if I stop for an hour or two I probably turn off my GPS

I wonder what the deal is with your GPs? I tested my 4s gps for 13 hours & it was pretty accurate!
