Does MapMyRun take into account the grade of the terrain when running/walking?

Trying to decide which is more accurate- MFP or MMR until I get a new battery for my HRM.

MMR has my weight, height and age in the system, and is GPS enabled.

    I think MMR grossly over-estimtaes calories. MMR tells me I burn about 700 for a half hour run (at 6mph pace). I think MFP is more realistic, although again I still think it overestimates. It puts an 18 hole round of golf at 800 calories, I'd say more like 200 extra burned.
