In my opinion, Google Earth is the best program in the market. I have a Garmin Rhino 120 GPS and after I get back from scouting/hunting I am able to come home, plug it in the computer, open Google and then install evey waypoint and route that I have visited for that trip. If there is something out there that is better, please let us all know. I have found numerous tanks and springs that are not marked on other mapping systems, as well as finding htose honey holes that i believe game is hiding out in. The ability to also put the sun in motion and to see the areas that get stay shaded all day is also an outstanding feature. The advantages go on and on.

Google Earth is a good tool. One thing that drives me nuts though is when your following a trail/road or mapping out a region and it transitions from high-res to a lower-res. Or moves from a scan that had winter cover versus spring or summer. Hard to beat for its cost though...

I agree that it's an awesome tool. It's allowed me to feel like I know the country that i'm heading into without ever setting foot in it before. I spend a ridiculous amount of time surfing around my units with it. I haven't found anything else that compares.

All this tech stuff makes me wonder how we did it 40 years ago when all we had was some topo maps and a compass.
