The elevation profile tool has a number of ways to shade the track; the 'standard shading' seems to always do 4 stripes regardless of elevation change (it looks like just the quartile marks), and both vertical and horizontal shading just seem to do gradations.
Would it be possible to have 'striped' shading but with the stripes on x00 or x000 boundaries? I.e. a stripe between 100/200, 200/300, or 1000/2000, or 500/1000, etc? That would make it easy to see actual elevation gain.
Thanks,
