FYI:
Google has now made their Google Earth Pro available for free (it used to cost $400 for a 1 year license, but demand is so low that it looks like they gave up trying to squeeze some money out of this version). Heres what the Pro can do that the non-Pro version cant: * Print images at 4800×3200; non-Pro is capped at 1000×1000. * Automatically import a few thousand addresses at once to be pinned on a map. You can create a club membership maps or special interest maps, like show every Wal-Mart in Manitoba. * Capture HD videos of whats on screen. * Measure distances/areas using lines, paths, polygons, circles, and more. Non-pro can only handle lines/paths. This is really handy if you want to measure real estate or estimate construction projects. All you have to do is go to https://geoauth.google.com/gev0/free_trial.html and fill out the registration form. Ignore anything about costs and buying and free trials. After filling out the form, Google will send you your key by email. Then, go to http://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html to start the INSTALL. Google Earth Pro will install onto your machine (if you have Google Earth already, it will preserve your preferences and locations) and automatically remove the old Google Earth. Totally painless and quick installation.
