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


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.

That is what I was looking for. Thanks Heinz!

Brad, Heinz,

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