HOW TO EXTRACT ELEVATION/HEIGHT DATA FROM GOOGLE EARTH(after a tedious effort ‘googling’. I found this. Alahamdulillah)

1. Go to : http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/terrain.php?action=sampleDon’t worry, it’s FREE. a. Terrain: - you can choose desired points in your selected area either RANDOMLY or using

UNIFORM GRID. The maximum points for both methods are 5000 points = 5000 elevation data!! Cool ha... So, if you want detail elevation data, choose smaller area then select bigger sampling points.

b. Extent: Insert the maximum and minimum latitude and longitude your area. To inform, the coordinate system for this tool is WGS 84. Hence you can easily find the coordinates from google earth.

2. Click GET ELEVATION and wait until the tools finish plotting the elevation points.Min Lat and long

Max Lat and long

Min Lat and long

Max Lat and long

3. After the ‘plotting process’ completed, you will be able to view a window containing X,Y and Z value. Copy and paste these in Notepad and you can import to ArcGIS .

Good luck!! . I’m so damn happy!! Haha...
