I’ve started to exploring the API but have found some strange results related to elevations that I can’t explain and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction please.
Specifically, I’ve used the directions service to separately query directions between 2 points, in both directions, using the following bodies -
{"coordinates":[[-0.25606513,51.313863],[-0.26376843,51.326562]], "elevation":"true"}
{"coordinates":[[-0.26376843,51.326562],[-0.25606513,51.313863]], "elevation":"true"}
However,
- The first response gives an descent of 65.5 metres and a 0 ascent, but
- the second response gives an ascent of 62.2 meters and a 0 decent
This inconsistency is also apparent in the geometry coordinates, where the respective endpoints match each other in lat/long but have discrepancies (3m and 6.3m) in elevation.
All suggestions/ideas would be much appreciated!
