Climb percentage

peegee

I’m having an issue with the percentage climb angles. Some times they are accurate and make sense with the intensity of the climb. On a previous climb which is 25% for most of the way , I got a constant 14%.
I used the same gps file I use all the time on this route.

I would appreciate it if someone could explain how it is calculated, is it a step by step reading which changes as the terrain angle changes or does it stay constant for a certain distance such as 10m, a 100m etc. Or maybe it is some kinds of average?
Is there a difference between getting the percentage based on gps file or just getting the info from current terrain.

I’ve searched for info on the subject but haven’t found anything convincing.

@peegee If you loaded a route, the % displayed on guidance screen is the average slope on remaining distance of the climb.
If you are using climb app, the % is the “current” slope (based on last seconds or X meters - don’t the calulation method used - maybe already mentionned on the forum).
