Is there any way to get altitude information from Google earth/maps?

If I have a large number of longitude/latitude points in a spreadsheet or text file, is there any way to get the elevation of all of the points without individually punching them all into Google Earth, and then typing the number shown down? I don't know a lot about the program, or how the elevation data is stored, but is there a way to do something like that?Is there any way to get altitude information from Google earth/maps?
Hi,



What you want to do is not possible, other than physically putting in the Lat/Long co-ords of a place and then placing your cursor on that point and reading the altitude data from the screen as shown in Google Earth.



Hope that helps
