We offer percentage of gradient as a field on our devices that are equipped with a barometric altimeter, so you will see Grade as a field option on the Y10 Super GPS, Micro Color GPS, and Micro GPS devices.
Devices without a barometer, such as the watches, the Macro GPS, and the Mini GPS, do not have Grade as a field option. This is due to the difficulty in showing real time changes in elevation based solely on GPS signal.

Hello
I recently purchased your MICRO GPS WATCH product with the conviction that I can display the Gradient. On your website, the specification specifies that such an option is available which confuses the buyers of your products. :( What can I do to get this option on the display?
However, it may make an option in the next version of the software based on the GPS indication.
Greetings Marcin
Hi Marcin,
I apologize; that was incorrectly put on the site. I'm having our site manager remove Grade from the list of features.
I will pass on your request for it to be added to the devices without barometers, but the reading would be very inaccurate. As I stated in the article, real time changes in elevation are not easy to read with only a GPS signal. If we add the field, the reading that it displays will not be precise. Honestly, reading Grade/Gradient on any consumer level GPS device, even with a barometer, is a little difficult.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes I agree but a better inaccurate option than self-counting.
Regards.
