Google Earth Contour Lines, How Can I Get Them.

[RATTER15]

The only site I found that says it will install contour lines for Google earth also wants to install "Web Search" Ive had trouble with Web Search before, its a Browser Hijacker.

I want contour lines from a trustworthy source.

Any help please.

If I cant get contour lines for Google earth I could use an online map with contour lines if you know any. TIA

Have you tried the Ordnance Survey site, ratter?

Should be there! Unless they removed it?

Does zooming in give you the terrain option on the right? You need to click the little down arrow below "traffic" to get all the options:

Ed, that first site is full of Delta and web search hijackers.

Im still trying, what I really want is to overlay contours on to a satellite image of some land.

Tilly, I did have quick look but didnt find what I wanted.

"I want contour lines from a trustworthy source."

Sorry, missed this bit! I haven't got the greatest faith in Google - beyond getting a gist.

"Ed, that first site is full of Delta and web search hijackers."

No it isn't. Some options:

1. You are already infected with something and you're seeing "Delta and web search hijackers"
2. You're massively paranoid and are misidentifying something normal as a "Delta and web search hijacker" :)

I reckon it's the first one though.

Download MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button and run it.

BUT FIRST - let us know what you see on the link immediately above?

Ed, it clearly gives options to install delta which I declined but then in terms and conditions it goes on about installing third party software etc.

I am a little paranoid, I've had to uninstall chrome due to delta and web search problems and I could get rid of them so now I am very careful.

I didn't find the contours on Google but I did find them on another map, thanks for the help guys :-))

I ran the malware and PC is clean.

"I ran the malware and PC is clean."

Which program did you use?

No one else gets those options when you hit the page I linked to - so you're likely still infected.

What do you see when you visit this page? http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button

I ran malwarebytes from the link you posted.

when I go to the above link I get the download page for malwarebytes

"when I go to the above link I get the download page for malwarebytes"

Super :)

Some of the "hijackers" you talk about are in the business of changing links to their own page you see.

Glad all is well.

Thanks Ed.
