In most cases it's the app itself at the end of the journey which is
the most vulnerable point, rather than traversing the network,
considering that the elevation results must be displayed on a Google
map (which in turn is likely to mean a browser or browser control).

A url like that specified in the docs seems to work, but I can't vouch
for its security credentials. I assume it's encrypted.
