It is nice to know that such a site exists and a link would be even more helpful.

Google Earth also shows elevation. It is as accurate as the elevation on my gps (so take that for what it is worth.)

The elevations from this one appear to be in the ballpark. Not perfect but decent. Nothing to download. Easy enough to use.

You can't trust googles accuracy. It is close, but I have seen discrepancies of several feet in places.
