Slope indicator average

The slope indicator averages over too long a period.

We live in San Diego, California, and ride many hills.  After going down a hill, turning around and heading up, after maybe 50 to 100 feet the slope indicator is still negative.

Is there any way to get this indicator to average over a shorter distance or time period?  Maybe make it user adjustable?

  Hi Bryan, thanks for the feedback. It is slightly slow to respond and can depend on factor such as GPS speed. I will pass this on to the Product team.

  I understand about the rate of GPS updates.  A possible key is that I see the slope update several times during the transition from up to down slope, or the reverse.  It appears to me that the Karoo is using too many readings for its average.  Maybe an option that specifies how many readings to use when calculating the slope.

  If it were measuring slope via an accelerometer, I would agree on a larger count to prevent bobbling and misreading from pedal accelerations as comparted to acceleration from gravity.  But the GPS readings are distance measurement and not subject to much jitter.

  Regardless, thank you for your time.

  Please renew this question and send it to the Product team.

  When I reach the bottom of a hill, turn around, and ride up, it takes a hundred feet or more to change from negative to positive slope, then another hundred to register anywhere close to the current slope.  I presume it is averaging over some number of elevation readings.  Can that number be shortened?
