Determine Elevation Profile on Internet???

[Veronica]

To see a route SK sent me, I just switched browsers and used IE.

Okay, so thinking about reading comprehension here. Can you imagine someone who didn't have the background knowledge trying to make sense out of my first sentence?

I'd like to know if anyone is mapping routes on any of the internet tools and getting climbing totals comparable to the results from their Polar, Ciclosport, Vetta, Garmin, whatever.

So far, everything I've experienced and read is that the totals are much higher than actual, that the altimeters on the cyclocomputers are more accurate.

Sadie - I'd be really curious about this also. Virtually my entire focus for training rides is elevation & climbing, so it is important. Unfortunately all I can contribute is speculation since I don't have an altimeter.
