[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 691211, member: 2736"] On flat ground google is very accurate (Within 1 meter) and it can be used to check survey markers But on uneven ground (Like the mountains)it measures horizontal distance and not distance over ground, so if you are on a ridge looking down the distance over ground will be more than google will be to the same point below/above. However the bullet drop will be close to the google distance drop. I have used Google Earth to get coordinates for locating terrain features,stands,water holes and other things and plugged these into my GPS and been able to go directly to them In the dark. Is it as accurate as a good LRF ? Probably not. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
