Methods and apparatus of grading a route and calculating travel time information for the route

摘要

A method of grading a section of a route using an electronic device is disclosed. The section is graded by inputting a subjective grade into the electronic device. The subjective grade is associated with how fast a non-motorised traveller can travel the section and based on the terrain condition of the section. Then the location data for the section is determined using the electronic device. The method further includes the step of identifying a new section each time the subjective grade changes. The location data includes altitude data and co-ordinate data based on the location of the section. The method further includes the step of creating location points based on the location data. Location points are created by the electronic device determining a preset distance using the location data.
