Help with Google Maps and Sea Level measurements

Does any know how to use a google map and relate what you are looking at to measurements above and below sea level?

Or is this too hard for you to figure out. I know it's too hard for me.

What are you trying to find?

Here is a website that has free topo maps
http://www.digital-topo-maps.com/

I also have topo maps for my GPS.

I am looking at property on Lake Lanier. I am trying to find the exact distance from sea level that the dock is on the property that I am looking at so I can determine what it takes to have certain water depths under the dock.

I am trying to compare the distance above sea level of the dock and then compare it to the distance above sea level of the lakes current level.
