So allegedly, Google Maps bike directions now give some indication about how hilly your route is. Can anybody get this to trigger in the area? I’ve had no luck:

It works, but I have not been able to get it to work for shorter distances than 4 miles.

Example: Biking directions from Key Bridge to random point on the Custis Trail

At 4.0 miles, the elevation works

At 3.9 miles, the elevation does not work

I dunno. I think all rides around here are fairly flat.

Have you biked from K Street in Georgetown to the National Cathedral lately? That will trigger the elevation thing in less than 4 miles.

If you want a more detailed elevation profile I recommend using this resource from runningahead.com – https://www.runningahead.com/maps
