What units are the 'distances" in. Fortune Lake is about 2.25 km long (7.34 - 5.19). Is that 5.19 km from some starting point? Obviously that first 8.36% isn't for the first 5.19 km. Is it an instantaneous measurement of the grade at that point? Percent grade to 5 decimals. Impressive accuracy. I would guess that rolling over a pebble would cause a change of more than 0.00001%! LOL
