Title: Measure miles with Google Earth
Post by: jcarter on June 04, 2010, 04:09:39 PM

Just today coming home from a wonderful day kayaking, almost falling asleep looking at Google Earth,,,,,,,,yup, we are tired.

My husband just asked if I could tell how far we paddled with GE?
Anybody know if you can do this?

Aren't you just so relieved that, along with miles and kilometres, available units of measurement includes Smoots.  

Edit to add: Thanks for that link Kris - most useful....
