Google earth for scouting

Recommended Posts

I have found this extremely valuable when it comes to scouting land via aerial view. I wanted to see if any of you guys ever have problems pulling up a specific location in focus. It seems that the greened out areas are all fuzzy. Maybe they only focus on populated areas, or then again, maybe it's my computer.

 

Tucson, Phoenix and Albuquerque came in.

Morenci, Globe, Silver city did not. -Just curious if anyone has a remedy to this :blink: -Shiras

Shiras,

 

Only the major populated areas are high resolution- you can zoom in to 1 meter res in some areas. However, very little of the unpopulated areas are that detailed. It's not your computer! I believe that every time they update google earth they include more high res imagery. It will take some time to get the boondocks in high res though. Too bad!

I bought the topo maps program for my computer. At the time, if you bought the program, sportsman's warehouse gave you the 3D program for free. It is just like google earth (for your state) but much better. I use the two together, as well as a GPS coordinate book to find the spot I want to be at.
