R_Case Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Did you guys know that you can zoom in on the maps and click on Hybrid or Satellite and get a great view of the area! You could find new areas to hunt. I use it to cut some of the guess work! Great tool. "No matter where you go, there you are!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekCrawler Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I use it all the time particularly for directions to sites and potential ones.Great resource! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yes, it is a great resource. I usually use the Google maps but tap Yahoo, Mapquest and Bing as they sometimes have some different pictures, detail water differently (on the street maps), etc. Bing (formerly Live) maps also has the "Birds Eye View" for some areas, which will get you really detailed aerial photos.

BobC Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Unfortunately most of the satellite images are at least five years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyboone Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Unfortunately most of the satellite images are at least five years old I know on Bing, some of the ones I have looked at recently are about a year old, I can tell by the horses standing in the pasture.
