Overlays on video. Need slope/grade data on/over video

[Robt 'Coupe' Locke]

Been searching and diddling the video-layout.xml file in the config folder.

I am only getting speed, cadence/HRM combo and Watts/target watts overpays left to right.

Windows and my old CT.  I really like to see the grade before it increases suddenly.  ;)

I figure I am missing something, and have lots of hours googling, searching here and digging to no avail. 

Thanks

Hi, first be sure you are using the latest version (3.7.1) and then use View > Reset Layout to get the latest layout, select Video Workout Perspective and in the Video tab use the down arrow to go to config so you can choose which Overlays you want, there you can also reset to default to get the latest, for example Graphical meters with Map includes a zoomed altitude widget on the right which is handy for what you want.

when I choose ' Graphical meters with Map' I get a vid box upper left that is just the txt "ride contains invalid data".

May be your workout doesn’t include GPS data, it is necessary for the map, obviously.

That was it.  Thanks so much for the assistance.

You are welcome.

If you want to add the zoomed elevation widget to Graphical Meters for simulation rides without map you can edit video-layout.xml adding the lines https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/07e673d5d55e7709dd26884de1fe0a84e5981cc5/src/Resources/xml/video-layout.xml#L194-L201 before https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/07e673d5d55e7709dd26884de1fe0a84e5981cc5/src/Resources/xml/video-layout.xml#L94
