Google Maps Now Show Elevation Statistics For Bikers : News : Headlines & Global News

It doesn't quite work in my configuration, but curious if someone else sees this work. I tried Idaho Springs, CO to top of Mount Evans so there should be a hill in there somewhere.

Overall, I know mapmyride.com and others already show elevation profiles, but having this in Google Maps could also be a plus. For touring I typically use Google Maps asking for an Auto route but option for "Avoid Highways", but seeing elevation stats/profiles in bicycle mode would be interesting too.
