i use google earth to find new spot,and it works excellent,
and there is an option for the measurement of the length,very helpful.

:YEAH

 

+1

 

I will have to check it out. thanks

 

I've used it once before too. But the spot that I thought was going to be so good was all gravel.

 

 

It really is a good spot finder though.

 

do u also used the button for measuring distance?
100 percent is correct,i always use it.

 

Naw, I haven't used it in a while. I didn't know it even had that option. I've searched my area a lot before and there's really nothing for me.

 

Yeah, biggest problem is it doesn't give me a clear view of the ground. My house is just a jumbled mess.

 

gonna have to try that one!

 

kinda cool story....
I was using it to get a view of some hunting property and I browsed over to my lot. Now we use it to search for other lots also to a point.... But dig it.... I'm the only one riding it in this town. The lot is for a vacant buiding for a few years now. But guess who's van, trailer, and squidly self could actually be seen IN the google earth image!


NO ****!! You can actually see a vehicle with a trailer parked exactly where I always park and a blurry little image of me on my bike also!! I have shown about everyone that I know that has come over to my house, including a few people on this site.... but how the hell do I print a picture or email a link to the image to another google earth user or just save it to my PC even?? I'm afraid they are going to take another picture and update the image! It's ben this way for a while now...

 

^ not that special...
my problem is the **** is out dated by a few days and what looks like a lot is now a store... or subdivision... around here you got to move fast cause what might be a lot today could be a super wal-mart tomorrow

 

on ur keyboard theres a button "prnt scrn" press that and then paste it to photoshop or whatever u got
doesnt google earth have print option?

 

no.. but kinda cool.

 

im pretty sure theres an option where you can pay so much and the pictures better quality and you can save.

i know i seen this somewhere not sure if it was google earth or another site like it.

i never thought of looking for a spot using this...
bad *** ima try it out

 

usually find what would have been a good spot, but now is a field or a building or housing development

 

If u look up at the top of your google earth page you will see a little icon to the right of the printer icon. If you click on that button it will open a page where anyone can see what you are looking at. It takes you to a google page and you can provide us w/ the link.
Here's my spot in the country. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.81...z=17&t=h&hl=en
And this is 1.7 miles of prime stunt/race asphalt stuck out in the country. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.66...z=14&t=h&hl=en
Parking lots are a big no no around here. The only lot we have is 20 miles away at work and I don't really feel like getting off work and going straight at it.
