Flat routes across San Francisco

While attending YC SUS in San Francisco, I did a lot of walking and plenty of non-optional hill climbing. I didn't always want the fastest route, sometimes I just wanted to minimise elevation gain and spare my knees. So I built a map that lets you choose what your walking route optimises for: the fastest path or the flattest one.
