Thanks all for the suggestions. Looking at those I see there is potential for me to be out of my depth, even though I can sort of see what is going on, and that the publically available data is getting better all the time. Perhaps you have a google earth script example Martin? Bruce

2 cents from Greece: What I do is take the SRTM dats from NASA, pass them through vtopo's "gensur" stand-alone programme which makes a text file with height data for whichever part of the inputted SRTM file interests you. Then I take this to Therion and convert the header text of the .sur file

Thanks for all those replies. That looks like a 'shiny thing' and my mind just wants to explore and get it working. However I have more pressing priorities just now, so I'll park the terrain model extraction for now. Bruce

Hello Does anyone with a Windows machine? Did someone perhaps the Google Earth script by Martin reprogrammed? Or what other options there are? Unfortunately I have no idea about the program. Best regards Thomas On 8.7.2009, at 12:03, Bruce Mutton wrote: > Perhaps you have a google earth scr

For Windows to mimic human interaction with GE you may try QuicKeys. Probably all my script is possible to do with QuicKeys. http://startly.com/products/quickeys/windows/3/ Just an idea. m.
