anyone know of a website simialar to mapquest that has maps, aerial photos but lets you pinpoint a spot and get the gps cords for it? I would prefer a free web based site but if you can give me any programs or sites with a modest fee those would be helpful too

Have you tried google earth?

terraserver-usa.com I have used this website and it is great for aerial photos, it's also free. One other thing you can try is weather.com and go to the radar of your area and zoom way in, it will give you very good aerial pics.

Let me know if this helps.

live.maps.com

or is it maps.live.com?

Have used google earth but lately have used

http://www.microsoft.com/virtualearth/

Google Earth will do exactly what you want. I'll have to try the Microsoft version.

Thanks all ... terraserve and google earth both do the trick. I will also be checking out MS virtual earth when i get a chance to play with it. I appreciate your time

If ya buy one from terraerver get one that's water proof. Had one this spring just melt on me.[:@]

I like flash Earth clicl what you want top left and the place your looking for bottom right it will give lat and long down to the min
