This is interesting, I've found in some places the hill doesn't show up at all on the online services. I've only noticed this a couple of times and in both cases the situation was the same. A very short and steep hill that wasn't graded at all when they built the road. It looks very much like a "bump"... an insanely steep bump (or at least they feel that way to me), and aren't long at all.
