Yep, I’ve used 4 or 5 different ones and that’s definitely the best. It’s free and easy to use. The satellite images are from google maps so are updated regularly. Our own area here are images from April this year and you could count the cattle in the fields! The measurement function on google maps is very slow and awkward compared to it.

That's the 1 I use aswell, find it very good, put in a few troughs in the middle of fields and just used the blue dot on it to locate them. I think it was fairly accurate.

If you hit the little bullseye type button in the top right corner of the map, it should locate you.
