You have to create an account but it's free. It works like google maps, but' it'll give you elevation and most importantly overlay the grade on top of the that. Once you map your route, save it, then go to share on the right hand side of the map and it'll give you a link to your elevation image.
For fun i decided to see what a trip to florida would be like. Thats 35,000 feet in elevation gain and loss! Like climbing and descending mount Everest (6.6miles up and down). All of this takes place between 0 and 1,345 feet over 1,300 miles, but all those minor ups and downs on the highway add up even with.1% average grade. We really do live in an imperfect world!

Minimum Elevation
-1 ft
Maximum Elevation
1345 ft
Avg. Grade
-0.1 %
