I am wondering about the meaning of the up/down green/red triangles in the activity overview charts, since I fail to see any correlation with my ride data. As I did not find any explanation in the wiki or this group, I would be grateful to learn more.

Thanks, Thomas

Indeed. Thanks. I was probably using the wrong search keywords before ('arrows' instead of 'triangles').

Anyway, I am confused about the triangle direction and colour of the elevation gain figure attached to this mail. I understand that 678 m is the average elevation gain considered in the spark line, so 1151 m is above the average and should show a green upward triangle. Or am I missing something?

Try making the tile taller

I have attached three rides from the past week. Triangle directions do not make any sense to me in this context. Tile size is increased vertically.GC_elev.png

I can reproduce this behavior and It seems to be a bug.

If I understand the code correctly up/down is determined by the first activity of the same sport in the last 30 days relative to average, instead of the current one.

Adding the missing declaration inside the loop avoids this problem, the same happens with RPE tile, both are fixed in master.

Thanks a lot for the prompt support, Alejandro!
