LifeNRA Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I am sure most of you have seen this before. I haven't! But since I upgraded the OS on this machine, I have been able to see some things that Windows 98se would not let me do! I was amazed at the accuracy this program has! I plugged in several GPS coordinates from my GPSMAP 60 CSx, and it zoomed right in! Even seen the boat that sits in my back yard! LOL! I also see that you can add your spots, not that I will be doing this! Not too bright showing off your hunting areas! LOL! http://earth.google.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popgun Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I also see that you can add your spots, not that I will be doing this! Not too bright showing off your hunting areas! LOL! I think that if you add your spots to google earth it only adds a cookie to your own computer so that you can find your spots easier. Others can't see your spots unless you give the address or coordinates to someone. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Camo_Girl* Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 My friend and I were looking at places where we hunt on that. He thought it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Washington DC tonight, couldn't even see the Monument because of all the little blue and orange dots! LOL! Looked like it had measles!

wtnhunt Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Have used google earth many times, maps are not as detailed as the old outdated terra server maps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I've used this site for aerial maps: http://maps.live.com/ I'm able to zoom in more for better details, and I don't have to download anything. I just use it to view maps, so google may have more options I'm not using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbowhntr77 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 We use it all the time here at work. It comes in real handy for looking at a piece of ground that someone wants work done on. We can get a real good idea of the terrain and how much brush we'll have to fight. Real neat to use and easy too!!:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
