Or possibly more practical, extract terrain data from the new NASA public domain earth terrain model which I heard was being published on the news last week?

It looks promissing, http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2009/jun/ HQ_09-150_ASTER_Topographic_Map.html but one must generate the grid for therion from such data. Google Earth has advantage one may shot-down the map data and altitude data from the same source. And altitude data directly as grid. m.s.
