Default No elevation on gmap-pedometer.com?

I've noticed that the elevation feature of Gmap-pedometer hasn't been
working for at least the last week or so. Older saved routes still
show altitude, but new maps don't.

Anyone know what's up?

Were they getting the topo info from topozone? That got bought up by
trails.com, and the free service was pretty well gutted.

I have changesd to terraserver in the high resolution maps because I
can attach their URL to ride reports. I don't know what trails.com
expects anyone to do with thier service. Only paid members can view
the maps so the servuce is useless.

I like Gmap because it's an easy way to create and share routes (and
calculate mileage). Altitude profile was another nice feature. Hope
it's not gone forever.
