Go to the desired location in the map, set two markers by clicking the map to define a rectangle (or enter coordinates manually). Click the button [get data]. Optionally you can change the number of elevation samples you want in each direction, the more the better. However, if you go beyond 2500 total samples per day, querying data may stop working according to the Google Elevation API description. You can also change the number of contours or set custom contour values. You can save some data in cookies, however there is a limit. Use the manual saving text areas below alternatively.

If you want to have the contour maps as an individual layer (e.g. to create overlays) you can copy the code underneath the image below and save it as an svg file. Please note, as for now, the drawing below is square and you may want to stretch it to cover the actual area in a map.
