glide ratio/glide ratio to destination?

[Euan Uzami]

What is glide ratio when it's at home, is it useful (for cyclists), is it good for it to be high or low, what does it indicate, etc??

[Greenbank]

It's for gliding, so useless for cyclists.

Google has plenty of answers.

Glide ratio is the ratio of distance travelled horizontally to the distance travelled vertically when gliding. So a 30:1 ratio would mean you can travel 30 metres and only loose 1 meter of hight.

I'm looking for an opportunity to use the jumpmaster settings....

Pisses me off that my Legend HCx will tell me useless stuff like Glide Ratio... but can't total the height gained over a trip.   Unless someone knows some way of doing that?

Upgrade it to a Vista (or Summit) HCx. It's only available on the Altimeter Page that the Legend HCx doesn't have.
