Reply to "Google Earth does Elevation Profiles"

AdminMember

Pete,

You will need version 5.2.1.1588. Click on Help>About Google Earth to see what version you are running. In the same Help menu you can check for updates online.

Then after you create a path right click on it and select properties and then the show elevation profile.

Another HUGE feature they have added is showing the distance of a saved path. They have always had a measurement tool, but you were never able to save a measurement that you made. The measurement tool is great because you can move intermediate points around or delete them, but not being able to save the measurement was a big problem that has been around for years. They have finally eliminated this problem by showing the distance of a path. I have checked this path distance and it appears to be the same as what you get with the measurement tool following the same path.

Thanks Justin for bringing this to our attention. I probably wouldn't have updated for a while if you hadn't posted.
