I found a no-cost solution for me to create an elevation profile from a Google Earth KLM file [after altitude information is added], using GPS Visualizer. I think this will give a rider some idea the amount of climbing associated with a ride. The length of the respective axis can distort the severity of a climb. Here I’m using the default GPS Visualize ratio of 570 to 270 pixels. Here we know at the 48-mile point, we reach the summit, it is relatively downhill to Telluride.

As you have noted, I have been using Delorme elevation profiles provided by Terry of BROL. They also work, but for me to use, I’d have to buy Delorme mapping software. I’m currently using one of their competitors GPS devices & their mapping software [streets versus topographic]. When I have no Terry, and want an EP, what to do?

I’m open to better ideas [no-cost] from my readers. Help please…
