<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am new to the GIS world so please fogive what is probably a simple question, but I can't find my answer on Google.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am wanting to draw a series of cross sectional views of bushwalks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Somthing like</div>
<div><a href="http://www.nodedb.com/elev2.php?h=500&w=1000&nodeid=26125&peerid=26111">http://www.nodedb.com/elev2.php?h=500&w=1000&nodeid=26125&peerid=26111</a></div>
<div>(this draws a cross section between two points - I will need to draw between many points)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would be very happy with a plugin in excel that would allow me to query srtm files to return a altitude from a lat/long.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have looked at converting SRTM files into XYZ but this means a 50gb database for Australia - a little to big for me at this stage - but if I have to then OK.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>are they any tools that will do this for me??</div>
<div>or a webservice that I can use to query SRTM files??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any ideas??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for your time</div>
<div> </div>
