Slope Angle Overlay on the Web App

On your phone? Slope Angle Overlay
The Slope Angle overlay colors the map by how steep the terrain is. In avalanche-prone areas, it's an easy way to see which slopes to avoid. If you go off-trail, it can help you pick a smoother line and steer clear of very steep climbs.
How to turn on the Slope Angle overlay
-
Click the Map Dashboard in the top-right corner of the screen.

-
Scroll down to Terrain and click Slope Angle Map.
How to customize the colors
-
Click the settings icon next to Slope Angle Map.

-
Adjust the opacity, choose whether colors blend as a gradient, and set a color for each angle. Click Add to add a color stop, or Reset to go back to the defaults.
