Abstract
Modern sports tourism is being transformed under the influence of global tourism trends. The creation of clear and convenient routes allows organizing tourism activities and reducing the chaotic load on the environment. Raising altitude is the most important parameter for planning sporting events and challenging hiking and cycling routes. The article discusses the results of comparing the GPS height indicator of a navigator and a cycling computer with GPS function, carried out based on the results of experimental measurements in a complex of rough and wooded mountainous terrain. The measurement results showed a large and not constant difference in the determination of the height by various instruments, which often do not equal with the data of topographic maps. This problem requires additional research for its precise definition.
