Google Earth For Travellers
 

An interesting article about some lesser known features of Google Earth. It's written by a sailor so he talks about boats quite a lot, but the content is just as relevant for overlanders.

Also, the latest Enterprise version Google Earth allows users to download imagery for off-line use. I imagine that this is quite an expensive service, but wonder whether google would be open to negotiation for non-commercial usage.

Google Earth Enterprise - Deployment options

There is an article here on HUBB that explains how to do that with the free version. :innocent:

Yes you are right, however the free version will only cache upto 2gigs worth, which isn't a huge amount when are talking about fully zoomed images.

I believe that is not entirely correct, or there is way around it. Using the free version, you plot an area and copy the GE cash into a folder which you can access later at will. Just a matter of writing a new area into a new folder when the cash threatens to overflow.
