spertz, Google Earth does not have a birds eye view.  Virtual Earth does, but only in selected areas.  On the other hand, Google Earth has what is called a Street Level view, also in selected areas.  Both are pretty nifty options.

lol.

ive used google earth before and the street level view gets a bit grainy. the 'birds eye' on this looks much better and seems to have the same satillite images as google earth.

i didnt see it posted anywhere and just thought id share since i know people always like to mess with 'new' things.

:)

here is this guys view of google maps as well...

I found Google Earth to be a great tool for locating new fishing places. You can add a placemark on your favorite sites with information such as tidal and species. Around DC, I have marked everything from warm water discharge to flat locations on the Chesapeake for Stripe Bass fly fishing. You can also back up your Google Earth, save as a .kmz file, which keeps your placemarks and share with your friends. When trying to figure where to head out, its nice to pull up and make quick decision.
