To view track log altitude information, you must first send the track log to Google Earth. See this support article for additionalinformation: How do I view a track log in Google Earth on my computer?
When a track log is opened with Google Earth, it lacks altitude information. To view altitude information, select Edit > Show Elevation Profile.
Edit > Show Elevation Profile.
If Show Elevation Profile is selectable, you will see the elevation profile as pictured below.
Track Log with Elevation Profile
If Show Elevation Profile is not selectable, follow the steps below to make it selectable.
- Expand the Places section.
- Expand the Temporary Places folder.
- Expand the track log sub-folder to view all of its contents.
- Click the track log sub-folder to deselect all of its contents.
All items deselected
Once the contents of the track log subfolder have been deselected, select only the track log, which in this example is named KSZP-KSZP. Once only the track log is selected, the Show Elevation Profile option is available.
