I have been looking for some land and I use this site to check out possible areas that are for sale from my computer. I also have checked out a number of lakes and find it very helpfull finding weedlines. The turns, points and even open areas show up nicely.
I think some of you might find this very helpfull and interesting. Not this will replace scouting but it will give you a head start as to what your looking for.

I should add a few pointers so it's easy to get around.
First click and hold your mouse on the area close to where your looking to check out, now move it to the center of the page. Now scroll in until you can reposition your target again the same way. You can go all the way in until the picture will not show up. Now back out one click on the tool bar or mouse scroll.
I can't believe how new some of the images are. My daughters car is only two months old and I can see it in my driveway.
Great tool for deer hunters but it can show some great structure in the lakes also. I would bet the metro areas will have the most uptated pics but they are still usefull if your looking for underwater bars that are shallow. Points and turns show up great on some lakes. Heck it's better than a map because the weedlines are so visual on some lakes.
