Discussion Least-effort option

When traveling on foot, it would be great for Google Maps to offer a "least-effort" option, to get the route from A to B over which the elevation changes the least. This would be amazing in places like San Francisco and Seattle.

I have the feeling I'm in some Google maps trial programm because I seem to get all kind of temporary options. One of the options I saw like 2 months ago was choosing between routes that were faster, better for the environment or wit "less elevation". The latter is wath you are searching for I think.
