I used it years before I found the Beast for checking where old clear cuts were. When I lived in Montana and hunted elk.
It's pretty simple. My version of Google Earth has a bar with various tool options in the top left corner just above the aerial pic. There's one for placing a marker, another to draw a polygon, a measuring tool. Mixed in there is a little clock. By clicking on it a bar graph drops down.
The aerial you currently see is usually the most current. Click on the left arrow in the timeline graph/bar to see older pics. Some will be blurry and others are of poorer quality, but even those can show things at times. You can often go back to black and white aerials. Sometimes you can find winter pics without leaves on the trees. Often just slight variences in color can indicate different tree species. Which can indicate soft transitions.
If a color difference coordinates with a small finger ridge on the topo. You may have a thick spot for bedding.
Good luck!!!!
On iPhone my google earth doesn't show any of that
You need to use the desktop version.
