no Ascent or Descent on new route

TC

I submitted a new route as the existing one is impassable.

https://beta.slowways.org/Route/Oxseps/8555

The software I used to create the gpx file did not include altitude information,  and the route shows as 0m for Ascent and Descent.  Is this something that can and will be fixed later, or do I have to find new software to create the gpx.

  The following website can be used to add elevation data:

  Thank you, that answers how I could do it differently next time.  Do I need to (I'm guessing yes)?  Is there anything I can do to fix the route I have already uploaded (I'm guessing no)?

  My original expectation was that all I needed to do was upload a route and the website would work out the elevation.  I did not see any warning that my gpx should include elevation data,  I must admit to being somewhat discouraged from trying to contribute further routes if there is nothing I can do when I find what I have tried has not worked well.  It is rather intimidating to find that you need to get everything correct first time :-(

  We'll fix it when we next update all the GPX files TC. Thanks for checking in!
