Add to the elevation profile widget a way to show what the slope/ grade is at a specific point on your line feature (instead of the average for the whole line), so when you hover over the box says something like-

Elevation: 50m

Grade: 30%

Picture is to show more of what I mean

@edward33 Please would you be able to share an example how this information is being used? What's your use case and workflow?

@AlixVezina the idea is to use this for trail mapping, so as the user drags over the elevation profile they can see the grade of the slope. This can help decision makers decide if a portion of a trail is too steep and needs some aid like a ladder or a rope to help a hiker get up a hill.
