While I like the idea of a 3D visualization, just like with graphs you still have to mentally apply what is being displayed to what is actually being encountered when on the route. There in lies the problem. It's the scale that is the big problem. Hard to judge from these visualizations how long/steep the hill actually is, even when there is a distance reference. I just think most web displays are not going to accurately record the more steeper "short" climbs ( @ < 200' distance ). If you can expand the resolution perhaps that might change. RWGPS does this to an extent but still hard to visualize what is actual going to be encountered ( if you never ridden the route before )

Still, some information is better than no information. I'll use the information provided and tip my hat to the people who provided it.
