I will need to do a 3D representation of a terrain and I heard surfer is ideal, but then I do not have a DEM file of the region, I know Google Earth and Map could help, but I do not know how? If there is another way round, please where can I get one for free?

    If you are just looking for a free DEM you can use SRTM 1arc second (~30m) available through NASAs EarthExplorer
