Waymark plug-in

Joe, are you now living in the Comox Valley?

Hi @terrylewisbcca,

Thanks for reaching out. You can specify the height of the elevation profile with some CSS like this:

.waymark-elevation {
height: 600px !important;
}

As for displaying the exaggeration, do you mean to compare the amount of screen height (i.e. pixels) with the actual elevation (i.e. meters)? This could be tricky honestly!

Yes I am in the Comox Valley and certainly familiar with the Vancouver Island Trail. I actually noticed that some of your pages are not currently working, possibly due to a permalink issue with pages starting with with /map/ (example). This could be being caused by a plugin conflict… possibly with Waymark.

Feel free to create another support ticket if you think Waymark is at fault so I can look into that. Also if you ever want to talk trails and websites you can contact me directly [my username] at gmail dot com.

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Joe,

By exaggeration I mean the ratio of elevation (m) to distance (m) – so for a 10x that is often used, 100 m elevation interval (vertical) would be 1,000 m (1 km) distance.? I find that less exaggeration gives a better feel for trail steepness.

Great to hear you are familiar with the VIT.  Yes, the current website has several problems.  I have not kept it up to date over last few months since we are in the middle of a complete re-vamp to be launched before the hiking season, hopefully by end March.  (Not a problem with Waymark)

I found and have been trying your Waymark because I’m not completely happy with WP-GPX-Maps.? Will be using Waymark on the new web page.

Cheers, Terry

Hi Terry,

I read up a little on Vertical Exaggeration and my initial impression is that it would be quite difficult to integrate into Waymark currently. I will keep it in mind for the future though, thanks for the suggestion.

Joe
