Look for a route on Google Maps and select the cycling option and the elevation data is displayed along with the requested planned route:

The Google Maps app for Android has just been updated to show elevation for bike routes too.

I've just started using strava which does the same, presumably works off the google maps platform?

Strava use OpenStreetMap.

It might not be as good as Google Maps, but it's much cheaper for Strava.

Ill have to look at this me thinks - as I plan to bike in to work over the summer (as I'm coming off my own bat - there's no times set for starts/ finishes - so no-one can complain ive been late!)

Great news.

 

I do cycle trips all over the country and this is a welcome addition!
