Portable CycloGraph

Made as the portable counterpart of CycloGraph, Portable CycloGraph is a rather approachable tool designed to aid you in creating road elevation graphs.

It's able to create CycloGraphXml (.cgx) and .kml files, and to open external files to let you make adjustments, as long as they originate from Ciclomaniac (.xml, .txt), GPS eXchange (.gpx), Keyhole Markup Language (.kml), SportTracks Fitlog (.fitlog), Training Center xml (.tcx), Ciclotour (.crp) or Salitaker (.sal).

Since installation is not necessary, you can save the program files to a custom location on the disk and just click the .exe to launch CycloGraph. Otherwise, you can move it to a removable storage unit to run it on any PC directly. It doesn't modify the Windows registry configuration.

The GUI has a well-structured layout and offers support for multiple tabs, thus allowing you to easily juggle multiple opened files. You can insert new checkpoints with the distance and altitude, and later edit their properties or remove them from the project.

Using at least two checkpoints you can generate plots. Plus, if you associate them with coordinates, then you can find their location on a map.

It's possible to disable 3D effects, hide information and horizontal lines, modify the default resolution, theme and KML server, customize the fonts for descriptions, titles and the gradient, or change colors. These settings can be restored to default.

We haven't encountered any problems in our testing, thanks to the fact that the app didn't hang, crash or show errors. It executed commands rapidly and left a small footprint on system resource consumption, using low CPU and RAM.

To sum it up, CycloGraph provides you with a simple means of rapidly creating road elevation graphs and consulting a map, featuring extensive file type support.
