When I need an altitude I go over to Topozone, call up the correct USGS map, and check the contour lines for elevations. A lot of road junctions and major landmarks have exact elevations noted on the maps.

Hey, Google Earth for Dummies makes a wonderful Holiday gift idea. In fact, I'll make a list of all the Dummies titles and go from there. Why didn't I think of that! What a dummy.

I use http://www.gmap-pedometer.com when I want to map a route and see the elevation changes. Very easy to use.

i think the elevation shown is from where the picture was taken, not the altitude of the land.
