    sanborn works really well if you can find them but you can also scan topos an import them then you can fade them in an out as an overlay

    Re: Sanborn an google earth an other maps

    i tried that once with my google earth but i couldnt size the overlay properly, and then once i realized i messed up, i couldnt undo what i did. granted, i am computer retarted but it was super frustrating. to fix it i had to uninstall google earth, and download a different version. it looks like it works great for you though. maybe someday i will give it another shot and see if i cant figure it out.
