Use the arrow keys to explore areas for drop offs, structure, flats next to drop offs. It's like diving around on your computer and when you see an area that looks interesting, exit ground level for coordinates. "Eye alt level" at the bottom right of the screen gives a negative # for approximate depth. It helps me develop a plan for an area I've never fished before.
Thanks for the advice. I've tried google earth but have not been able to figure out how u guys use it. This helps a lot.
Anybody else have advice on this?
