Hi deeenes,
The data for the elevation and gradient now comes from mapbox.com. We did try OpenElevation but their data really was very poor in comparison.
I've personally found that the elevation profiles produced with the mapbox data match very closely with those previously produce by the Google API.
Others have mentioned that the total ascent and descent stats have increased significantly. I think this may be an artefact of summing the fine variation (noise) in elevation data. I'll look into adding some smoothing to sort this out.
If you have any particular route that you feel isn't showing a realist elevation, I'll be happy to look into it - just post the route URL here.
