yankeedoodlepigeon Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I don't know if its been on here before forgive me if it has. I was just on Google and noticed a Distance Measurement Tool. At the top right it says as you look at a google map NEW! If you click this a list of options comes up for you to check if you like. I did this on the Distance Measurement Tool looked round my permissions clicking on points I want to know distances. works really well.

HW682 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Download Google Earth Pro on a 7-day trial if you also want to the area mapping function (and the ability to print images in high resolution). Good to see a post from you Baldrick. Even the free version is worth having. You can measure distances, mark out the boundaries of individual or groups of fields and save them as favourites, print them out etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 There used to be an area measurement feature on the free google earth. But looks like its been removed now and is only available in the pro version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
