Measuring grade on hills
Anyone have any tricks? I have a new Garmin 2595 which has all the data but I haven't studied long enough to see if I can display grade.

I have a older DeLorme Topo mapping program, and it is able to diplay the grades while going over the planned route.
You could also display average grade, peak uphill and downhill grades. It would also total the feet it climbed and decended during the route. In other words, if you have a topographical map with your route on it, and counted each foot that you go up or down along that route, this is what is given as a total with the DeLorme program.
It has been a while since I have used the programs.
With Google Maps, you can check Terain, and see the area elevations. However it is not showing the grades of each hill.
