RE: Google Earth
I would only caution that sometimes the images are several years behind real-time, from what I understand. Depends upon how much the layout of your land has changed.
Other than that, it's an awesome tool.

Google Earth is awesome...If you download the latest version it will overlay roads, show you hotels, food, etc.Some of the satellite images are out of date and some of the not so populated areas do not have great detail. The only state that was really well photographed wasIndiana for some reason?Also, if you don't want todownload yourgoogle earth simply go to http://www.maps.google.com and you'll get the same picturesbut rather than an application it streams through your browser. A long time ago I was able to get high resolution photos (2 years old) from terraserver http://terraserver.microsoft.com/. After a lot of copying and pasting into photoshop I had a really HUGE map of our farms. Good luck!!

Try Microsoft Virtual Earth - http://local.live.com
They seem to have more up to date rural pictures on average.

RE: Google Earth
Google and microsoft are fine but they are both old! at least in my area, My neighbor built a house fifteen years ago and its not in the pic! The best that I have found was posted on here by Rick James and it was Yahoo. In my opinion it is alot better images and at least for my area is up todate. The farm I hunt on had a barn burn last year and the satalite shows the barn gone! Heres the link.... http://maps.yahoo.com/beta
