The Google Earth (c) version 4.3.7284 comes loaded with reference points in ENP and pictures related to the sites. (Regrettably some of the pictures are not accurate at all in terms of what you see). But placeing the "thumtack" and putting in my title is my obligation not Googles.

Try downloading the newer version. Or if you have it go to the park by rotating the globe and zooming in. As you descend in elevation the reference picture-points come to view. Leave them or delete them as you wish. Manuever around the Park (as you are familiar with it) and thumtack your points, post your pictures, eliminate the freebies that are already there as you see fit.

I have "tacked" the Marsh Dump area, Flamingo, Snake Bight, all the major walks, locations of orchids (not to be disclosed) etc. One of the better improvements of Google Earth is that you can "fly" down the road at a low elevation (25 feet or more and then zoom over Florida Bay. Childish, huh?
