Using Google Earth

[ktrboston]

Hello Captains, I was wondering if anybody uses Google earth for their patrols. I remember reading a post about someone was using it to plot their patrols etc.. I thought this was a hell of an idea so I do use it. I use it for each patrol. Plotting my course to my patrol area, use different icons for contacts and their course made on route as well as during patrol. I do weather reports and mark the date at various points during the patrol. Keeping it organized is a key note here. I have a separate folder for each patrol but have one main folder that contains all the information that way I can review contacts made through out the war to see if there are ships that show up again on the next patrol. I have map overlay that I found on the web of German quadrant map which is the same one in SH III. It lets you get in deeper with the game I think. What do you think?
