If you already know a location’s coordinates, you can use them to search for that location: Open Google Earth. In the Search box in the left-hand panel, enter coordinates using one of these formats: Decimal Degrees: such as 37.7°, -122.2° Degrees, Minutes, Seconds: such as 37°25'19.07"N, 122°05'06.24"W
To format your coordinates so they work in Google Maps, use decimal degrees in the following format: Correct: 41.40338, 2.17403; Incorrect: 41,40338, 2,17403; Tips: List your latitude coordinates before longitude coordinates. Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90.
The elevation should appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen in Google Earth Pro along with the coordinates and date, if available. Make sure the status bar is checked in the View menu. Make sure the Terrain layer is checked at the bottom of the Layers panel.
Use Google Earth to look up the longitude (east-west position) and latitude (north-south position) coordinates of a location. On your computer, open Google Earth. On the left, click Search . Search for a place. On the right is a Knowledge Card that shares information about the place. In the top left corner of the Knowledge Card, click the Up ...
You can use the coordinates of a place to find its location on Google Earth. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Earth app . At the top, tap Search . Type the coordinates using one of these formats: Decimal Degrees: 42.7°, -100.2° Degrees, Minutes, Seconds: 64°25'12.07"N, 100°10'15.24"W
An elevation profile will appear in the the lower half of the 3D Viewer. If your elevation measurement reads "0," make sure the terrain layer is turned on. The Y-axis of the chart displays the elevation, and the X-axis of the chart displays the distance. To find the elevation and distance at different points along a path, mouse over the path.
Measurements don’t account for changes in elevation. These instructions only apply to the new Google Earth. Learn how to measure distances in Google Earth Pro. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Earth app . Search for a place, or select a location on the globe. Tap Measure . To add measurement points, move the map and tap Add point.

Most of the 3D areas use a Lidar elevation that is pretty accurate when 3D is turned on. Some local governments have submitted Lidar data too, but Google never says what area uses what system. Beyond that, Google used a lot of different data bases when they built GE, but, again, Google's not talking.
load into GE; amend elevation data from GE; save kml/gpx with 'ele="xxx" ' info into file on local PC
