Google added a new feature for walking directions. For each set of directions, you'll get a little interactive map that shows you elevation changes and the overall climb and descent of the route.
The feature, however, works only the desktop version of Google Maps. Right now it is not accessible on smartphones.
This could be a life-saver for people with mobility issues, who can now choose alternative routes to avoid steep climbs.
It's also very useful to hikers who can now plan for tougher/easier routes depending on their fitness and skill level.
