What would be nice would be a total climb for route (estimation). I know this would be fraught with difficulty, because the heights that you get aren't spot heights actually on the route, but you have some data there for the graph, so you could just sum up all of the height differences that are positive (and possibly all that are negative too.
I've just planned two possible routes for tomorrow and it would be nice to give the rough (relative) total climb for each route as well as the distance when I email my cycling mate.
Done.
If you right click on a track, there is a new menu option 'Update total climbing'.
One thing I would say though, is it gets more inaccurate (tends to underestimate) the longer the route is.
I did it on yr elenydd and it came back with just under 4,000m, the AUK site lists ~4,900. However, doing it on each track, with one track per leg, and adding them together, probably gives you closer to 4,900 that the AUK site says.
So just don't go doing it on a 1,000, thinking it's quite flat, and then come crying to me when it's hillier than you thought
I've also added some new routing methods today, they are based on the OSRM routing engine.
http://project-osrm.org/The winter one I don't think is particularly effective - I threw it together as an afterthought and haven't had much time to test it yet so there's a high chance I'll be rebuilding it after tweaking its profiles*.
The others produce some quite interesting routes! Try going from one side of a large city to the other, for instance.
Keen to hear any feedback on here or by email.
*In fact there's a chance I might tweak any of them, but the ones other than winter are quite good.
