    That's the one I use the most too. Google based stuff often has areas with bad photo coverage making it practicably useless for a lot of areas.

    Yeah, unfortunately I'm right on the border of the high and low resolution photos; on one side I can count how many sheep are in the fields, on the other I can barely make out the fields!

    Haha, I'm the same as that. Most of the my land is in high res, but one field isn't. Most of Dads land is low res, it's a pain in the proverbial.

    Very handy tool, is there one that would give what height the land is at or altitude, for example drainage or to see if it more was more low lying than a other fields in the area that are more productive, would give you an indication if you could get more out of your fields

    Google Earth will do altitude, how accurate it is is debatable.
