I found this interesting little plug in that will add some layers in Google Earth. Download this kml file and open it in GE. Select one of the layers like "Maps Opaque", and you get a nice layer of google map data.

They sure are making it hard to get lost now a days, but I'm sure I can still manage

If you have any other mapping or google earth tips, please add them to the thread.

Cheers!
