Pop over to the Extension Warehouse and install Utility Tools, this gives you the very handy Query tool.

Find the Z value (elevation) of an object already drawn

When attached to an endpoint the default text of the Text Tool displays the coordinates of the point. You’ll find the Query Tool is far less cumbersome. The Z of imported GE terrain is relative to the SketchUp Origin [0,0,0] It doesn’t reflect real world elevation above sea level. You might find this extension of interest.
