Answers on the page
Public pages now end with the questions people actually ask, in every language — and a GPX upload fills in your distance and elevation properly.
Most of the public pages now end with a short set of answers to the questions people arrive asking. Not filler: the ones that show up in search boxes before someone lands here — what the formula does, when it stops being reliable, what the number means. Eleven pages got them, translated into every language the site speaks.
The reasoning is simple. Handing someone a number without telling them where it came from is what every other calculator does. If you have read this far into a guide, the question you have next should be on the page, not on a different site.
There is also a fix for GPX uploads. When you attach a file, the distance and elevation are now taken from the file itself after it is parsed, rather than from whatever happened to be in the form. Your watch knows how far you went better than you do.
A handful of URLs that used to return a server error — mostly hit by crawlers rather than people — now return a clean not-found instead.
