HILL SPLITTER™
Hill Splitter™ tells you how you performed on the uphill and downhill sections of your session. Hill Splitter™ automatically
detects all uphills and downhills by using your GPS-based speed and distance, and barometric altitude data. It shows you
detailed insights into your performance, such as distance, speed, ascent and descent, for every detected hill on your
course. You get data about the elevation profile of your training session, and you can compare hill stats between different
sessions. Detailed information about each hill is recorded automatically, no need to take laps manually.
Hill Splitter adapts to the terrain in each session. In practice this means that when doing a session in relatively flat terrain,
even small hills are counted. Then again when training in areas with large variation in elevation such as mountains, the
smallest hills are not counted. This adaptation is always session specific.
The minimum ascent or descent counted as a hill differs depending on your sport profile. In downhill sports (snowboarding,
downhill skiing, backcountry skiing and telemark skiing) it's 15 meters, and in all other sports it's 10 meters.
Hill Splitter requires 1 second GPS recording rate. It cannot be used with 1 minute or 2 minute recording rates.
