New Google Maps Feature

[FCIN]

Thanks for telling us! I think I would not have noticed these new features. Especially the measuring tool and that you can rotate the satellite view is very helpful to me.

Thanks for pointing out the new rotating map/satellite view feature on Goggle, Kurt. I completely forgot to mention that. Always helps to be able to look at things from different angles.

When I'm exploring an area, I use both Google and Bing as each as its own useful features. I find that Googles map view the best of any - as it shows practically all the rail lines in a given area, where Bing won't. Often Googles satellite views are better than Bing's although in some areas it's a draw. Between Google's Street view and Bing's Bird's Eye views you can really visit a lot of areas without leaving home.

Google Earth has that function too, as well as the elevations. It really helps calculate grades.

I also forgot about Google Earth. I had that installed on the computer at one time, but haven't bothered to reinstall since I had to do one of those famous reformat/reinstall weekends a few months ago. Will probably download and install it again in the near future to see what nifty features/improvements they've done with that program.
