A google search of "Google maps elevation" brings you to
Google Maps Find Altitude
OR
Google Maps elevation for a route
Then you can compare the altitude of the point of a route.
For developers, these websites basically use The Google Elevation API or Google Maps Javascript API V3 Reference: google.maps.ElevationService class.
