Hi dear Forum:
Does some method exist in order to automatically obtain the alltitude of all the points that form a path or route ?
I use GE Plus to extract the altimetry for some roads to bike over them, so I could know _in advance_ of the riding how much altitude i will have to climb (routes < 200 km)
what I currently do is: make a route in MapSource, export that route (as GPX) to Google Earth, and in GE _manually_ check each one of the points that form the route (could be as high as 250 points) in order to kmow its altitude
then I make a table (in an Office sheet) with the distance between points (given by MapSource) _and_ the altitude i have previously extracted from the 3D data of GE, and finally make a graphic of that table
as you could see, it is a rather lengthy process, so I would like to know if there is some way I could automatically extract the altitude data of each point in a path or route (because this is most time-consuming part)
do you know if such a method (using GE Plus) does indeed exist ?
i have attached a sample in what i am interested to have as a final result
thank you very much for your attention
greetings
