Reading the Elevation Profile of a Session

The ground you cover is rarely flat, and the shape of it tells a story. A creek bank, the brow of a hill, the terrace where a house once stood: all of them show up as elevation. SweepTrack Pro can turn any recorded session into an elevation profile, so you can read the terrain you walked after the fact.

Built from your recorded track

The profile works from a finished session in your History, not from a live reading or a place you point at on the map. As long as the session has a recorded path, the app takes its GPS track and looks up the elevation along it. Heights come from Open-Meteo, a free elevation service, and the result is cached so opening the same session again is instant.

Smoothed so it reads true

Raw GPS altitude is noisy, full of spikes that never happened. Before drawing the chart, the app runs the track through a median filter that removes those jumps, then draws a smooth line and fill. What you see follows the real lay of the land instead of the satellite jitter.

Six numbers under the chart

Below the graph are six figures, shown in whichever unit you have set, meters or feet: the minimum and maximum elevation, the range between them, the total ascent and total descent across the whole session, and your average height. Total ascent is the honest measure of how much climbing a flat-looking field actually held.
