I use both Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth. 

Which program is better for the hunter?

flashearth.com is pretty cool.

gohunt on wdfw has color orthos. It is not very good with road names. There is software out that has sat and topo side by side. Once you get into complex choroplethic displays, it takes a little getting used to in order to interpret what you are seeing.

Google earth is great, every piece of info you could want other than gmu info.  For
that, Go Hunt is pretty good, a little clunky and slow, but has the hunt info.

I've never used Microsoft Virtual Earth, It may be nice too, but I stay as far a way as
possible from Microsoft pc's..... Mac's are much better.  (there...the start of a pc debate)

Did we decide which is best?

[Pugetsound]

Yup.  Mac's are best.

Thanks for sharing this.  It's by far the best I've used for scoping out areas.  Way better than google in my opinion.

[huntnphool]

Yup.  Mac's are best.

What do you use on Mac?

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]
