google earth or other satelite imagery

Unread postby Bowhunting Brian » Thu Sep 20, 2012 5:52 am

any of them give a view during winter months. I tried the slide bar on google earth but the timeline is always during green months. would be cool to see the deer trails in the snow to help scout from home a little.

Some areas of Bing birds eye have leaves off trees, check that out.

Also try your local online county GIS map server. If you don' t know anything about that let me know. It's what I do for a living.

Yep Bing has spring pics with no leaves in my area, pretty cool.

Another vote for Bing's "bird's eye view". You can even view it from different angles to capture the shadows differently.

I have never found a site that offers pics with snow on the ground. Just with the leaves off.

I love using that feature! For those that don't know its basically an online plat book but I love the fact that you can also add satellite imagery to see the exact line of certain properties.

They certainly are great. You are lucky in Wisconsin to have most (all) of your state covered. Most states I check have many counties that do not have them (or no counties). We don't have a lot here.... yet.

I agree with this. I also think that sometimes no snow is better. I'm not sure you could see trails in the snow with satellite imaging, but I do know that trails in grass and/or cattails that are matted down from the melted snow show up well. Winter pics are nice because you can tell what types of trees you're looking at, instead of all green.
