What are you guys using for tools to mark-up your google maps? I'm also looking for topography maps so I can see the changes on my place.
Anything else you can recommend is appreciated.
Thanks much!

At one time I found some old aerial photos of my place from 1938 or so. It was very interesting.

I have a 4'x3' Hunterra map of our MN property. Pretty cool

I can see the old school house on the corner of my place in 1940 and a trail from the farm house to the school. www.lib.umn.edu/apps/mhapo/ |

Google earth has a tool on the tool bar that allows you to see every image taken. There are about 10 different time lapsed images of my place, dating back to 1991.
The tool looks like a vertical ruler or a stop watch... can't remember.

I use Google Earth to mark up my ever changing property. Great tool, especially when they update photos.

All those tools make me realize that google controls the satellites and they are never going to update my photo. I think we're going on 4-5 years without an update.

The only vegetated map is from 2010. They have a 2013-2014 map but all is brown and you can't see anything.

GMAP4 has a number of options for basemaps and overlays. It can use Caltopo, Google maps, USGS quad maps and others. Sucks there is no way to "post" a map directly into a thread on a forum.....  all you can do is post the link and open the map in a different browser window. Works great on phones as well. There is even a way to view the "live" map on your phone/computer without internet service, but I haven't mastered that yet. |

I am old school I guess.
I get an aerial from Google and use MS Paint to draw lines and add notations. Pretty damn simple.
