Awesome. Just arrived from Melbourne and brought my bike with me - my poor legs will be very thankful.

  It also works in Melbourne (just tested my daily ride) for when you get back. NB: you can change the endpoints graphically. Though it's gotten caught up on an unnecessary roundabout, as if it were a way-point (even retracing the route to include it...).

Looks great! They should really make the fact that there's a $12,000 tuition a bit more prominent though.

  It's on the FAQ and, without saying the exact price, is discussed on the application. It's an education program, so I don't think a "Pricing" tab would fit as well (it'd feel a bit cheap, like Phoenix College). I personally think it's fine.

    I should not have to dig around the FAQ to find out it costs $12k, that's a large sum of money to consider spending before jumping into the class. It should, at the very very least be on the application, if not on the front page. The price (at least for me) was not a _frequently asked_ question, but rather the _very first_ question I thought of asking.

Works for Seattle, as well. Thanks!

  That's awesome. In theory it should work anywhere where Google has elevation data available. She just made it to scratch her own itch, getting around SF.

    How are you pulling the elevation data? I ask only so that I can go collect elevation data where it doesn't exist. EDIT: Disregard. Found the elevation data: http://blog.programmableweb.com/2010/03/25/google-launches-maps-elevation-data-api/ http://blog.programmableweb.com/2010/03/25/google-launches-m... http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2010/03/aint-no-mountain-high-enough.html http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2010/03/aint-no-moun...

  What did you mean? Didn't work for me. I need this to avoid hills when running in Barcelona :)

    Same problem but in Brazil. Now this one is a great idea.

        You know a place is hilly when its name is "3-D".

Wow. That looks great. We need one of these (well, more than one!) in the UK.
