Google Earth is fantastic and free. My favorite feature is that I can use my topo map software and do an overlay onto the Google Earth aerial so I have and aerial and topo in one.

It's awesome. The only problem is that it doesn't have Topo maps yet. But the pictures are the best, zooming and panning is super fast, and you can overlay the road names onto the image which is nice for driving directions.

local.live.com birds eye view is amazing, but probably wouldn't have views available for most hunting areas. It's primarilyavailable is big cities.

It's like flying a in a plane 500 ft above the ground.

RE: Aerial Websites

Thank you guys so much. So far, I really like terraserver and maps.yahoo.com/beta. Mobowhuntr, how is mytopo.com? If it's worth it, I will be willing to pay. One more question. Which image provider do you all think works best?

RE: Aerial Websites

this is kind of off topic sense your talking about a web site, but I thought I would mention that National Geographic has a really cool topo software out that is state specific. I found it on the net for 75$. I know thats a little steep but I think it will be a nice tool for my arsenal since I'm new to TN. It works well with GPS sys. too. Scout, mark poins on your GPS then load them on the PC so you can have a big pic. of where you will be hunting. Sorry for so many words, just thought I would mention for people who wasn't aware.
