I am not a big fan of Google throwing around their near-monopoly power in many areas. However, I must give them credit where credit is due.
I use Google Earth all of the time. The satellite imagery with the ability to measure distances and areas is a very powerful tool for land managers. The historical imagery button is also very nice to observe land use changes over time.
I am pretty sure I live in a lower population density area than our Indiana Pond Bossers, but my latest imagery is dated 2019. I have no idea what algorithm they use to update their satellite images!
