Hi I am sure this must have been covered before but wondered if it was possible to add field boundaries in google earth and the print them,or is there better options out there . We have many different blocks of land that are often changing and I just want an easy option to mark the separate blocks and print them for drivers and or others. Is there a better program I can use. We do not have gatekeeper or anything like that.
Cheers

What about using the basic map tools from Magic Maps (DEFRA)...

Forestry commission maps work well here can get them online. start off as os, zoom in beyond os and you get field boundaries. Dunno if they cover everywhere though.

What I have done is scanned the maps sent to us by rpa most PDF software will let you mark up the maps then you can save or print

I am sure someone mentioned this ages ago, there is a company that will print maps of your farm and boundaries etc on a variety of media of virtually any size- big enough for a wall or in A4 or A3 form etc. I cannot remember the name or link though?
