A few teething problems
Hi all
If anyone has any problems with the site could you please email info@mapometer.com and we will try and get them ironed out. A few people have said their route info is missing and we are looking into this. Some of you have also asked where the calorie info has gone so that they can monitor their “mars bar and gin and tonic usage”. We took this out because we didn’t want to confuse cyclists and walkers (it was based on runner’s energy usage) but it looks like we will have to put it in again. Give us a couple of weeks.
Just been introduced to this website and think it’s fun and useful, but just a small point, the predicted calorie burnage seems to be the same whether working like the clappers biking uphill or coasting downhill, over same distance, so doesn’t seem to take into account changes in altitude, up or down?

Hi Rob
Thanks for your email. The calorie burnage doesn’t take into account altitude and has been calculated based on no change in altitude (as is the running and walking). It is something we are looking at but we haven’t worked out how to do it yet. Will keep you posted in the blog when it changes.
