ClimbNamer - for Garmin Connect

Finds and names the climbs on your Garmin Connect courses, using OpenStreetMap. Not affiliated with Garmin.

Know which climbs are on your course. Garmin Connect shows the elevation profile of your courses, but not where the climbs are or what they're called. ClimbNamer finds them and names them: Kemmelberg, Koppenberg, Mur de Huy, Col du Galibier. WHAT IT DOES When you open a course on connect.garmin.com, ClimbNamer detects its climbs from the elevation profile, with criteria similar to Garmin's ClimbPro, and shows a small panel with every climb: • its name • length, average gradient and elevation gain • where on the course it starts The climbs also appear on Garmin's own map and elevation chart: in orange on your route with numbered badges, and as orange numbered bands on the chart. Hover a climb in the panel to highlight it on the chart; click it and the map zooms to the climb. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Plan better: see which climbs are on a course before you send it to your Edge or watch. • Your own names: don't agree with a name, or want a local nickname? Rename the climb. Your name is used for that climb on all your courses. • Fast: climbs named after a summit or pass appear instantly. Summits for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are built in; elsewhere they are downloaded once per area. Every climb is looked up only once and remembered. • Nothing to set up: install it, open a course in Garmin Connect, done. WHERE THE NAMES COME FROM ClimbNamer uses OpenStreetMap, the free world map made by volunteers: 1. If there is a named hill, summit or mountain pass at the top of the climb, that name is used. 2. Otherwise it uses the road the climb follows. In Flanders that is often the climb's name itself (Koppenberg, Paterberg, Oude Kwaremont). 3. Otherwise it says which village the climb is near. Is a name wrong or missing? Rename the climb, or improve OpenStreetMap so every rider benefits. PRIVACY • No account and no sign-up. • No tracking, no analytics, no advertising. • No server of our own: nothing is sent to the developer. • ClimbNamer only reads the course data that Garmin Connect already loads in your browser. Only the location of the climbs, and the outline of the area around them, is sent to public OpenStreetMap services to look up names. • Your own climb names and settings are stored in your browser. Full privacy policy: https://github.com/bertpinoy/ClimbNamer-Garmin/blob/main/PRIVACY.md FAIR TO OPENSTREETMAP The OpenStreetMap services are free and run by volunteers and non-profits. ClimbNamer is careful with them: each climb is looked up only once, summits are fetched once per area instead of per climb, requests go one at a time, and it pauses when the services are busy. GOOD TO KNOW • Works on connect.garmin.com (Courses) in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. You need your own Garmin Connect account. • ClimbNamer never changes anything in your Garmin account. • Open source: https://github.com/bertpinoy/ClimbNamer-Garmin. Questions, ideas or a climb with a wrong name? Open an issue there. • Also available for the Hammerhead dashboard: ClimbNamer - for Hammerhead Dashboard.
