Flagship free feature
Know the climb before it owns the ride.
ClimbDeck turns route elevation into climb lists, gradient-coloured profiles, summit context, and ride-safe prompts without hiding the core climb experience behind Pro.
Route Mode
Climbs from imported routes
When a GPX route includes usable elevation, ClimbDeck samples the terrain, detects sustained climbs, persists the climb list, and shows climb context during the ride.
- Detected route climb lists
- Summit markers
- Profile-first climb surface
- Compact banner and mini terrain strip
Free Ride Mode
Road-ahead detection
ClimbDeck now uses a live Open-Meteo-backed road-ahead terrain preview during free rides, with conservative confidence wording and short-lived cache reuse when signal drops briefly.
- 1 to 3 km preview model
- Short-lived local cache reuse
- Junction uncertainty handling
- Low-confidence suppression
Gradient language
Colour bands for fast decisions.
Climb profiles use readable gradient bands and include a colour-blind safe mode so steep sections are not hidden behind colour alone.
