It is 'nice' if it is ordered. It does show the elevation profile in waymarked trails well when ordered.

Peter .. when your finished I'll order it and go over it for anything that I think might be wrong/improved.
Feel free top disagree with my ideas .. I am not always correct!
Just leave a message here, I should see it (eventually). Same if you have any questions/problems .. ask and you'll have a few answers.

I'm not an iD user so cannot help there.
