Does anyone know how to generate coordinates based on a contour line? I've seen apps that can generate coordinates by following roads, but I haven't seen anything that can follow contours. I don't think I can actually do this with the Google Maps API. Or, certainly not with the limitations built into the Elevation API.
Anyone have any ideas? Are there other free or open source apps that can generate coordinates that I can use in my map objects? What I'm trying to do is plot the boundaries of an AVA (American Viticultural Area Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE ). Often these tend to follow contour lines. For instance, for the Santa Clara Valley AVA, the description starts out with these steps: (1) The beginning point is at the junction of Elephant Head Creek and Pacheco Creek (approx. .75 mile southwest of the Pacheco Ranger Station) on the Pacheco Peak, Calif. U.S.G.S. map. (2) From the beginning point the boundary moves in a northerly direction up Elephant Head Creek approx. 1.2 miles until it intersects the 600 foot elevation contour line; (3) Then it meanders in a northwesterly direction along the 600 foot contour line approx. 55 miles until it intersects Vargas Road in the northwest portion of Sec. 25, T4S/RlW on the Niles, Calif. U.S.G.S. map; I don't mind plotting some things by hand, but following the 600 foot contour for 55 miles is a little much. There has to be a better way! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
