I just tried it, but was that out of focus when you zoom in, you could not see as much as Google.

Whole heap of detail (roads etc) was missing in an area I checked out.

I found it pretty good. apart from my lawn not being mowed LOL I could see very goog detail on the reef just of Scarborough. I also plotted out the trips Ive been doing and found out I have been travelling. It seems to have allot better resolution than google maps & it also has a history of previous Photo views so you can go back & compare. I used the measurement feature by right clicking on map and I plotted my usual run in Moreton Bay Australia. The trip out is about 46.6 Miles (40.51 Nautical Miles)& return trip worked out about 46.9 Miles (40.76 Nautical Miles). thats 93.5Miles & I still come home with just under 1/4 of a tank, but for safety I always have a Plastic Jerry Can of fuel that I strap to the front casting deck seat post. Like someone else mentioned, I too also carry 600ml of XD100 Oil as mine is a 75 Etech.

This is my return leg. Rouse Channel to 4 Beacons, up inside of Moreton (Tuna Run) Cutain Reef, back to main channel the Home to Harbour.

Not a bad run for a good days fishing.....

dvr dave thanks for posting this site it is amazing! the level it lets you zoom to is great, when they upgrade the maps to cover more area i can see me not needing google earth anymore.
