Show the elevation gain in real time in the app during the activity

[Sanslaq]

I have been wanting this for a long time now, i wish there was a display of the elevation gained in the app in real time or at least a display of the altitude at any given moment.

It would be very appreciated when on a hike for instance as to have an idea of how much more elevation you need to gain to get to your goal or how much more climbing you have to do to complete the route you're trying to complete. At least a very simple reading of the elevation would be much appreciated.

+1 for this feature, seems like this would add considerable value for fairly minimal effort as I’d imagine those numbers are readily available in real time and it’s just a matter of displaying them (obviously completely guessing and it may well be more complicated)?

Either way, I really miss not being able to see metres ascended during a ride and always wish I’d used my GPS device instead.

This feature is most wanted! Without it I have to use other services and then sync to Strava. Please add elevation gain during workout.

Morning, any update on this Strava?  Still really want this functionality.

Proposal: Integrate real-time display elevation gain and average uphill grade during a ride on both the Strava watch app and phone app.

Key Points:

-Innovation: This feature does not currently exist and would provide valuable real-time data for cyclists.

-Importance: Enhances the cycling experience by allowing athletes to monitor their progress and adjust their effort accordingly.

-Details: Display the total elevation gain acquired and the average uphill grade on the Strava app during a ride. The feature should be available on both watches and phones, with visuals like graphs or percentage indicators for easy interpretation.

-Visuals: Include clear visuals and user interface examples to illustrate how this data will be displayed on both devices.

When I’m mountain biking the vertical feet is a way better measure of my ride than time or distance, and in the end it’s the only stat I really care about. Super weird that I have to ask my 12 year old to look at the basic fitness app on his watch to tell me how far we’ve climbed. I also really hate it when I get back from a ride and find I was just 10 or 20 feet short of a major milestone. Why is this hidden???

Any updates on this? It's a no-brainer. There are so many activities where vertical gain is a goal in itself and I'm at a loss that this is not displayed in itself. 

During an activity, there is already the possibility to swipe between your stats and a map. An extra tab could be handy where you can see a profile of the terrain you already covered, with absolute & relative values in terms of vertical gain & loss.

Please implement this.  The hike activity and the walk activity are essentially the same.  Change the hike activity to show elevation gain to show more information.  Or better yet, allow the user the ability to customize. 

The other option is to integrate with the AllTrails app so activities from AllTrails can upload to Strava.
