CycloGraph

CycloGraph is a Windows software application whose purpose is to help you plot the gradient of roads using distances and heights, and import routes from KML, GPX, SAL and other file formats.

The tool displays a multi-tabbed layout for allowing you to work on different projects at the same time and easily switch between them. There’s support for an online help manual in case you want to find out more about the program’s capabilities.

CycloGraph gives you the possibility to import data from various file formats, such as Ciclomaniac (XML, TXT), GPS eXchange (GPX), Keyhole Markup Language (KML), SportTracks Fitlog (FITLOG), Training Center (TCX), Ciclotour (CRP), or Salitaker (SAL). What’s more, you are allowed to save data to CGX file format and create KML files.

The application helps you input details about the distance, altitude and name. You may add multiple check points, edit or delete them.

Based on the configured check points, the utility is able to automatically plot graphs which offer information about the average gradient, maximum gradient, height difference and height gain. You can also enter details about the slope, such as name, state, author, email address and custom notes.

CycloGraph gives you the possibility to make use of several different routing services in order to compute the shortest paths. You can configure OpenRouteService, OSRM (Open Source Routing Machine), or OpenStreetMap, and directly draw on a map.

General setup parameters help you change the visual aspect of the graphs by enabling 3D effects, picking the resolution, selecting the KML server, as well as choosing between several themes (e.g. Black, Blue, Classic). You can alter the gradient colors.

All things considered, CycloGraph provides several useful features for helping you create road elevation graphs which you can use to study certain roads, and can be mastered by beginners and professionals alike.
