[Therion] Google Earth terrain model

[Dave Clucas]

Have you tried Terraintool?

quote
I've recently developed an application to create terrain data for  
Survex from the results of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission  
(SRTM). Coverage is >99% of the land mass between 60 degrees North and  
56 degrees South - with the missing bits mostly being in mountaneous  
areas where steep faces were shadowed from the oblique radar by  
surrounding peaks.

The tool lets you select a rectangular area in a variety of coordinate  
systems (OSGB, Irish Grid, UTM, Lambert Coordinates, Austrian grid...)  
and saves the result as a .svx Survex data file. It's written in Java  
and should run OK on Windows, Linux, Solaris etc. If anyone's  
interested in playing with it you can download it fromhttp://uk.geocities.com/mikemccombe@btinternet.com/terraintool.htm 
  You'll also find some installation instructions and driving  
instructions.

Best regards,
Mike
