Lorenchief Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Does anyone know how to download terrain data from either google or USGS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv2702 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If you search 'Google terrain data' on this forum, you'll find several threads on that topic, but you'll be disappointed. Some say 'not accurate enough', but no recipe for trying it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest question mark is how accurate it is which seems to vary a bit. If you're pulling elevation data from Google Earth though I assume accuracy isn't really the highest priority.

Lorenchief Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I was actually trying to use the USGS website that connects with a third party that translates their cvg files or text output files. I couldn't get it to work. Local municipal website Map Geo had good elevations but not downloadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
