I've heard mention on here and elsewhere to use Google Earth to scout out potential marks but after downloading what is the best way to do it? Also, what is the difference of using straight Google maps?

The difference is that if you have a joystick you can do it by Cessna or F16! Works for me.

Yeehaa.

To be honest I use the satellite maps on google maps rather than google earth. My experience is that most of these seem to be taken near low water so you can see the rocks, weed beds etc to decide where to explore on a given mark. It's been really useful for us as we have only really started fishing in this area last year and we now have a good selection of marks to try.

Thanks Tim, thats what I've been looking at as well for potential places as well. I just wondered whether Google Earth offered any other options like looking unde the water, etc.

Hi Chris
You can get a 3D look at the marks with google earth.

I will see how this can be done later. I guess that's a great way of really getting a good understanding for the terrain
