Map Pedometer

I have noticed that some routes give accurate distance on the map but not on the elevation chart. For example, the 6.6-mile climb up Mission Peak shown here:

The distance is shown accurately as 6.6 miles, but the elevation chart only shows about 5.2 miles. Why the discrepancy? Thanks!

We use MapQuest as our provider for our elevation data graphs. Their data is usually very accurate. In this case, it looks like the elevation graph may have some missing data.

We will investigate this elevation data issue further to see if there is a solution for the inaccurate distance on the elevation graph.
