Get a 6000 pixel X 6000 pixel (36 megapixel) High Resolution Google Satellite Image, with no labels, and download it on to your machine to play with as you see fit. This tool removes all the labels, and gives you a clean aerial/satellite photo of the site, allowing you to draw on it in your presentations.
Satellite Images are very useful to understand the site, even just as an aerial photograph of the intended site. While Google Maps allows us to view the maps on their platform, trying using the same images for our presentations are tedious. There is unfortunately no way to download a map, other than to take screen shots of the screen, and try to stitch them together. And all the while trying to remove the names of all the unimportant markers around, from small cafes to malls cluttering up the image. Not to mention the zoom level affecting them and making it one more step in drudgery.
All we ever wanted was an aerial photo, with no names or labels for our presentations. This tool allows just that.
