Default Tour on Google maps

Google maps have a street view version of the Tour route at
http://maps.google.com/

Put 'france' in the search box, click on 'street view' when you get the map
of France then click on any of the little cameras to explore a given stage.

But why is the altitude blurred out on the road sign at the Col
d'Aspin?! See http://www.xs4all.nl/~ewoud/earth/gsv_aspin.jpg and
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ewoud/earth/gsv_peyresourde.jpg (1563 m according
to the tablet).
