Reply to "Google Earth does Elevation Profiles"

Thanks to Duane Russel for reminding me about GPS Visualizer. I put together the steps that you can use to create a text listing of the altitudes from Google Earth. The process is nearly identical for generating elevation profiles from GPX files, TXT files, and from GPS units.

1) In Google Earth, save the selected path as a KML or KMZ file.

2) Go to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input

3) Select Output format as Plain text.



4) Choose the file your created in Google Earth.

5) Set the Add DEM elevation data to: From best available source.

6) Press the Convert button.

It will create a text file the contains latitude, longitude, and altitude that you can copy and paste into your Excel program.



Hope this helps. -- Justin
