Contour elevation lines for google earth and/or maps

[buck34]

New to this forum so hope this is right catagory for this post. Is there an app or program that will put accurate contour lines onto Google Earth or Maps?

I've always thought this would be great. Never seen it, but haven't looked very hard.

This is what I use now. Just download it and open it with Google Earth.

Topo Map

I second top rut. You can pick your specific unit and then you can control he transparency

I use Earth Point same as mcr-85. It's a little wonky though as in some areas the elevations are in meters and in others it's feet.

I'll have to take a look at toprut.

Yes, you can sign up for caltopo, build out your map with whatever layers you like. Save the map, click on 'download network link', and then open that file it gives you in google earth. It will then show you all your caltopo layers on the left hand panel of google earth. You can turn them on and off. Be patient as it loads them live over the internet. Any changes you make in caltopo, including layers, way points, etc will automatically be available in google earth. I use it all the time.

I like Idaho hunt planner.
IDFG Hunt Planner Map Center

You can build custom maps of an area (any scale/size/topo or satellite), then you can annotate your anticipated approach route, planned spike camp locations, waypoints, label basins you intent to hunt, etc. I leave a copy with wife and a trusted buddy. If I get cell coverage, I can text updates using the labels to give them a good idea where I'm at.

Worth checking out. All pretty simple and various map datum's give some great ways to compare terrain.

Here us a sample map (not my honey hole and hopefully not yours)!

Again, toprut.


All toprut overlays reside on your pc so if you use a laptop you can have it in camp and have access to everything but sat imagery without internet.
