Yep, can measure acreages now.

you can also draw a polyline and see an elevation profile

Noticed what looks like coastal restoration around PAC. Not sure what else it could be.


I'd be interested in the old pipeline canals they've filled with dredge spoil west of Fourchon. We did some mangrove and marsh grass plantings out there. I've often wondered if I would pull the boat up and go investigate, but I'm sure the O&G companies would flip.

I've been using it extensively for several years now.

As has been noted, the pro version is no longer pay only, its free. I"m guessing this will kill off the regular version.

The pro version has the same imagery but will allow you to print in hi-res, also you can measure polygons and do lots of cool things.

draw a path

Then, on the left, right click on the new path and click "show elevation profile".

To go a bit further, you can measure polygons or circles, distances in straight lines or paths, altitude, see terrain 3D, add pictures and video and links to waypoints. You can overlay Township and Range lines, topo's, soil maps and images.

You can save and print PDF's, record tours and see historical imagery. Not all locations imagery is updated at the same time or res.

Was that volunteer work or do you work for a non-profit?

I've love to see the coastal restoration projects I've worked on.




The big areas in progress which can be seen in the 2015 are orleans land bridge along east side lake borgne (largest mitigation bank in state), ongoing lake hermitage phases, long distance sediment pipeline west of myrtle grove, bayou grand liard, recently completed pelican, scofield, shell east to name a few...I've spent hrs on it in the past month haha.

Also GE pro has higher res (but same Images) versions on the imagery available without pro.

I'm loving this hi-res printing. Just printed maps for my fishing area. Going to laminate them tomorrow.

Do you need a special printer or will my little desk jet at home print it? All I have is black/white at work..

I printed on the work printer. It prints hi def color images. Not sure about a home printer. The dark colors from the water would probably drain those shitty little cartridges in one sitting.

I would check how much kinkos would cost IIWY.

ETA: Also, FWIW, after saving the images, I go into Gimp and change the brightness/contract to 80/80. It helps differentiate between the land/mud and water when printing.

The free version has lasted for a limited time in the past, then your free access expires. Hoping it'll stay free for the long haul.

Good info, I didn't know this, I've been paid for several years. Might explain why they do it.
