Hi all, here's a link (I think it works...) to geocontext, if you take some time you can set up a route either by foot, bicycle, or car and find the up's and down's... It should be useful to some people that are really planning a trip to see variations in longer mileage vs height gains/losses. It would also be an excellent tool if somebody could integrate the numbers of the particular car and calculate the kw needed.
