ETA: It appears that you can create and save paths in regular Google Earth as well. (I need the area measurement function for work which only Pro has) ETA2: Here is a link where you can find the USGS topo overlays. http://www.outdoors.org/articles/amc-outdoors/how-to-add-usgs-topographic-maps-to-google-earth/. The overlays in Google Earth are sometimes disagreeable. IIRC if they wont load, double click on the overlay in the side menu and it should zoom all the way out to the earth in space and then load the overlays. You then need to zoom back in. |

Looks like regular old Google maps does it automatically. This seems like it's on the right track though. |
