Importing Terrain Data

[mvman57]

I'm looking for a process to import latitude, longitude and elevation data from Google Earth Pro as a cvs text file as explained in the how-to articles. I really just need to see the formatting of such a file, which I understand is usually generated from a GPS. Placing elevation points in CA asks for x/y coordinates but I don't know how to correlate that to longitude/latitude.

This looks like it may help.

If not continue web search with " longitude/latitude conversion to x y dimensions program"  or

"program to convert longitude/latitude conversion to x y dimensions"

 

Let us know how you go
