There is no usage limit specified for the ElevationService. Is there one? The Elevation Web Service has a limit of 25,000 per day where each location is one query. Does that mean if I ask for 1024 elevation points along a route, I can only do that 24 times in one day?
There appears to be no geodesic/great circle option. >From the documentation it sounds like subsampling just chooses discreet points along the route. It would be nice if it returned the highest elevation along the sub-segment. I need to know the peak elevations along a route, but the subsamples may land on either side of a peak.
