Is there a way I can use Google data, or something else, to create contours of approx 1m? Using the 30m USGS data just averages out the contours and makes basically straight lines, but I need a more accurate representation of the ground surface.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:46:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/is-there-a-way-to-use-google-earth-to-display/m-p/276669#M15913 GrahamMcCulloch 2011-09-21T17:46:23Z Re: Is there a way to use Google Earth to display contours in 1m? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/is-there-a-way-to-use-google-earth-to-display/m-p/276670#M15914 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Creating 1 m contours from 30 m data won't be accurate at all and would be misleading.
