MapKit elevation information for a route

Hello all, I am playing with MapKit for SwiftUI, so far so good. There is one thing I have not seen any documentations, or sample codes around and that's elevation data, e.g.

My questions are:

  1. Is there a way to get this information from an MKRoute?
  2. Is it possible to get the elevation gain/drop at a given point in the route?

Many thank in advance for your help.

doesn't seem like apple has opened this altitude api or elevation data up to developers. I would LOVE it if they did... right now google elevation or Stadia maps are the only real options and both are over priced.

please apple!
