I just started doing this. Hours of driving replaced by a couple of minutes at the keyboard. Helps you get a bunch of choices so you can head out and start trying them, and narrow them down as you go.

Who else does this?

Alternately, how else do you find places to run your cars?

I use it to find places to fly my quadcopters.

Edit: and to measure out how far I flew out.

Yea. I've found it to be mostly misses though. Maybe everywhere is different but around here it seems to be old data, or posted private property.

Not for RC use but I often use aerial imagery to figure out where to scout for hunting locations.

zoomearth.com generally has better and more up to date imagery than google earth

Funny you should say that. I found a SWEET huge construction site the other day, just did a drive by and it's an established condo community. Looks like it's been there for years.
