Routes plugin for WordPress: Version 2.2.11 released

My partner Zach and I have been experiencing some problems with GPX files generated by an Android phone -- the elevations that Android records are suspect, to say the least. So I just added a new feature to the Routes plugin for WordPress: a button that lets you look up and update elevation values in bulk, using Google Maps' lookup service.

While I was at it, I also noticed that the Google Maps API now has the option for a street view map control, so I added that option to Routes, and I also added the option to add markers to the elevation profiles corresponding to markers in the maps.

You can see all of this this in action on this recent post on our bicycling blog. Prior to this update, the elevation profile showed us down below sea level, which we definitely were not!
