The main issue is that local authority boundaries are not freely available. The OS charge and impose licencing restrictions, so not certain one could be done for free. With the note: "at the moment", the OS may be releasing more data soon, which will make this possible. @Jim, certainly its possible.

It enables me to plan and visualise the height of my bicycle trips. But as Google maps does not give route information for numerous eastern European countries, I have to use Bing maps for that region. Is there any way, or do you know an application or site that makes it possible to export and plot height data of Bing routes without an GPS device?
