We were planning a stop by to a relatives house, one to which we've been but I had unnoticed precisely which thoroughfare to swivel on to get within. We would be attractive our 5th-wheel trailer, as we'd be tenting at their homestead.

The Find > Address statement in my GPS was equivocal. I desirable dry proof that we would be active to the letter-perfect stick. What to do?

Google Earth to the rescue! I agaze Google Earth and in a flash found the site. Then, I placemarked the entity. (Add > Placemark) Once the placemark pin was inserted, I well-matched clicked on the pin, went to Properties, and read off and wrote lint the latitude and meridian.

The adjacent measure was to instigate a waypoint in my GPS by manually putting the latitude and longitude into the GPS.

When I arrived at the destination, a bit done 200 miles away, I animal group up to the inhabitancy topographic point and stopped previously backup the lagger into the topographic point they had complete for us.

I glanced at the GPS facts field: Distance to Destination: 3 feet!

The collection of Google Earth and GPS can be a offer a simple, yet precise high-tech, way to brainstorm practically any blemish on the face of the planet. Here are whatsoever things for which it may be useful:

• Find bivouac or RV park
• Locate destination for a mass of goods to be delivered
• Find a commercial which you condition to visit
• Locate a relative's home
• Find the position of a corridor or building wherever you will be making a promotion.

Both Google Earth and GPS are amazingly hi-fi. In the situations represented above, the trunk quality will be introduced by your situation of the Placemark. Accuracy of the GPS itself will in all likelihood be inside a exceedingly few tens of feet.
