Google Maps + Elevation API

The Google Elevation API - Google Maps API Web Services — Google Developers:

Google Maps adds elevation data for cyclists braving the hills | PCWorld
"Google has quietly added elevation data to bike routes in its Maps service, providing better intel for intrepid cyclists.

The feature, which launched Friday, seems to work for much of the U.S. and Canada. Google says Maps already factored in elevation when determining routes for cyclists, but until now the elevation data wasn’t made easily visible."
