It turned out well. I tried two things - one just printing pics from google maps (tedious, not easy to do) and I downloaded Google Earth and saved some images to offline. The first wasn't as helpful as I had hoped, because I hadn't managed to select the right areas, or at least, not in a way that I could track where they were; the second I didn't have the resolution on some of the areas, so I need to actually save a greater number of areas. I'd selected a 'starting location' and everything around it was at good resolution, but everything else was a bit too pixelate to be able to zoom in.
However, I'm pretty sure that I managed to identify one section accurately, and we turned out to be slightly north of where I had been expecting to be at that point, so happy with the basic idea!
Oh yes, me too! It's even better now you can (sort of) use GPS while in flight, so if I remember to download the maps to my phone, I can work out what I'm looking at.

And it reminds me that I was going to print to pdf some aerial maps, to try and work out where I am as I fly across country this week.

But that's because I'm flight phobic and can't fly if I don't get one.

I can't imagine spending six months there, though! It's not for me.
