That is done via google api (Google elevation service). 
OpenLayers.Handler.Hover created on the map, and then a callback added 
to "pause" which calls the elevation service. Use var lonLat = 
this.map.getLonLatFromPixel(e.xy); to get an xy location and if 
necessary, transform it to lat/long.

I am however also using WMSgetFeatureInfo to retrieve height info from 
grids (eg subsurface geology) which would be another way to implement it.
