[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1067740, member: 3828"] Little google guy only shows up on roads they drove the google van down. Not too many dirt roads get google van-age. Trying to plan a route that intentionally goes down dirt and gravel roads is even trickier than trying to avoid them. I've also noticed that the satellite image resolution varies greatly. If Bing is always better they must have a line on a source of better images than G. A Lot of G's images are 6 or more years old too. It's often a blast to the past and the site now longer looks like it did back then. Thanks for the tip. I shall incorporate that in my route planning bag of tricks. [/QUOTE]
