How to find satellite views

[fryguy]

i thought a would share one of my lake scouting tips with all you folks(some of you already know this probably.). if you have trouble let me know, tell me what you think.
i have to utilize satellite views at work so i became pretty good at it. there are two easy ways for your average joe.
1: go to google.com and click "more" (the page that will take you to all the services google offers) you will see a little blue orb and it will say google earth. click that and download the software (it is quick, safe and free). after that just punch in an address and it will fly you wherever you want to go and you can zoom in substantially; also, you can layer anything you want onto it (look at the bottom).
2: if you don't want to download that, follow the first steps but instead of clicking google earth go to maps. punch in the address or town and on the actual map screen you can click hybrid (satellite with street names) or satellite (just a satellite picture).
i really recommend the first choice because it is much better, but the "maps" avenue works also.
have fun with it. the pictures are not supposed to be older than 3 years, so you can see all kinds of stuff. you can pick out boats on lakes just to let you know how much it can really zoom in!!

Here is a good one of Lake of the Ozarks only, its a few years old. But does show where houses/docks will never be built along the shore.
