Field notes
The page distinguishes watch-specific behavior rather than treating every export alike: it recommends disabling turn cues on some Garmin watches that already provide them, while Coros and Amazfit files omit those cues. Its elevation option can replace GPX values with terrain data from a map, or ignore elevation if the climb profile still looks wrong. Place lookup may depend on OpenStreetMap servers, which the page notes can be overloaded.
