Mini gradient viewer
When riding or racing a long route or route with multiple laps the gradient gets very compressed and loses a lot of small detail once this happens, this is even more noticeable now GPXplore is now a thing.
My proposal is a gradient profile under the mini-map that shows the next 5km with your position always being 1km in so effectively the next 4km with the last 1km behind you. I have mocked it up to make it clearer

The relatively new Zwift gradient profile pop up (similar to what Jamie proposes) was a real game changer improvement for Zwift racing, helping racers navigate unfamiliar routes/plan attacks etc. Totally support this. 5km may be quite big. The zwift one moves as you move then disappears when the saod gradient (eg 4% or more finishes).

Been saying this since I got here 2 and a bit years ago. Worked well in RGT. Works well in Rouvy. Makes up for not really being able to judge a slope/crest well on a computer screen vs IRL.
