Download elevations from Google Maps (API key required)

Get elevations from Google Maps (Google API key required) from latitute and longitude, coordinates input (UTM)

Get elevation from Google Maps (you need an API key to use this function! Check on Google developers page).
The function create an URL to download the points elevations. Each URL corresponds to a single request. A single request can contain up to 450 points.
For example, if you want to get the elevation for 1231 points, the function will submit three requests:
- the first request returns 450 elevations;
- the second request returns 450 elevations;
- the third requests returns 331 elevations.

The function requires 2 UTM coordinates arrays and the UTM zone.
It saves: an Excel file with the elevations; a .KML file to visualize on Google Earth your points; .xml files corresponding to each request. The function outputs are:
- an array of structures including the elevations of the points and their coordinates;
- array of the elevations [m].

BE AWARE:
From July 2018, Google allows a 200$ bonus to request the elevations and other data, check on:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/elevation/usage-and-billing
200$ allows a big number of requests for free! But you better check here for costs and details:
