Google Earth Terrain view

[Brad[_2_]]

I can't seem to find how to use the terrain view in Google Earth. What
I want to do is get the same view that is available on the OLC
website, but cannot seem to find out how to enable that in Google
Earth!

Any ideas or suggestions? I've read the help file and gone online for
help but to no avail.

TIA,
Brad

You can go to http://ywtw.de/igcsimen.html and get IGC Flight Replay.
When I
first got it it would automatically activate Google Earth. Now I get
a message
stating:
'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable.'
'Check OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder
containing
the installation package 'Google Earth.msi' in box below.'

I work around this by having GE already open before opening
IGC Flight Replay. After GE appears on this application all you have
to do is
click on 'File' in the upper left hand corner, then click on "open IGC
File' and
browse for the file you want to view.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Mario,
Brad is asking about something different. There are three ways to see
'terrain' in Google Maps/earth that I know of:
1. The regular GE tiltable images, with a lot of detail/clutter.
2. Import a USGS or similar topo into GE.
3. The grey very low feature terrain that is available in OLC and in
google maps.

Brad is trying for the grey very low feature terrain, but he wants it
in GE, which as far as I know is not available. Too bad, cause it is a
really nice level of detail to have for some things.

Brian,

Exactly!

I wanted to get a good terrain view of Twisp and the surrounding
mountains. I can get there by opening up an OLC flight that was
recently made near that area, but would be nice to get there in a more
straight forward manner.

Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
Note that there is GoogleEarth and GoogleMaps. Only GoogleMaps has
what you want.
Go to GoogleMaps. This will do it: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
Put in Twisp, WA in the Search box and select
Terrain, ......and off you go.

Brad, Heinz,

The "Terrain" view in Runwayfinder.com seems to give the same info
plus METARS, TFRs, switch to Sectional view, etc.
