Default Arial Views and maps

Just wondering what websites you all like to use when trying to get an overview of where you hunt and even topo maps.

I have found Google earth to be ok just cant zoom in much and TerraServer.
Also google earth isnt very recent on its pic's

Any more good ones

It's going to depend on where you are and when the last aerials were flown. South Bama had some new ones added from last year recently. My county property appraiser's office has some from this year already.

Default Google Earth

I use MapSource which came with my Garmin Rhino and purchased the 2008 topo maps for it this off-season. It hooks into Google Earth, big plus.

Now I have mapped out all of my leases proprty lines, interior roads, and waypoints for stands, feeders, fields, etc. With that I was able to map all of those features out on Google Earth and now have both a topo and aerial map of my property. Next step is tp take these files (.jpg) format to somewhere like Kinkos and have them print them out--preferably poster size--and have them laminated. I am also going to check into getting a transparency of the aerial to overlay onto the topo.
