Compare route outputs before and after calibration
This is the most important calibration decision step.
You are asking one practical question:
Does this calibration make the planner feel more realistic for me on this kind of route?
A good workflow
- Open a route you know well enough to judge.
- Review the route with the normal planner behavior.
- Preview the calibration on that same route.
- Compare the route-level and day-level outputs.
What to compare
Pay attention to changes in:
- overall route difficulty
- day balance
- the way steep terrain is reflected
- whether the route now feels more believable or less believable
What a good result feels like
A useful calibration usually makes the planner feel:
- more specific to you
- more believable on routes you understand
- easier to trust for comparison work
When not to keep it
Do not save or assign a calibration just because it is available.
Skip it if the preview makes the plan feel stranger, less believable, or less stable than the default behavior.
Next step
If the preview looks useful, continue to Apply calibration to a route.
If not, improve the FIT dataset and try again later.
