A Few Google Maps Features Surveyors Can Use

Posted by Jaybird on May 31, 2010 at 5:30pm
I've been working a lot with online maps lately (ie LSU Member Map) and I came across a few hidden features for Google Maps that all of my land surveying buddies need to know about.

Distance Measurement in Google Maps Labs


How Do I get to Google Maps Labs?

And for those surveyors out there who use Google Chrome Browser, here is a nice extension called Select to Get Maps which allows you to select addresses on any web page to get a popup with links to show it on a map or get directions there.
Enjoy Surveyors....! Hope this comes in Handy!
