Title: google earth - round plotter
Post by: jsm on January 26, 2011, 08:14:22 am
been having a play with google earth . anyone else use it to plot their round

easy to use just a few clicks to stick a marker and save ..

good to see your much you dont do  :'(

maybe good  if we all did it and we could see who was cleaning the same streets as yourself.

I have been doing this for the last 3 years, every one of our customers has a marker.

I'm sorry but I really dont understand the need for this or its benefits   ???
I know where all my customers live, I carry local street map in the van, if I was at all inclined to I would mark them with a highlighter in that.
No offence but its seems like technology for technologies sake rather than of any real benefit.
 Having said that, I do use google earth when I get calls for quotes, its a good resource in that respect.

you have a point there, but if that were the case I'd give each employee a street map and highlight their round on it if needed.

Bugger , im humbled by that !
This is a bit of my round , it only takes 2 weeks to get through !
Was gonna put a marker on all appartments , but then you wouldnt see the picture !
If any of you want to go in and undercut , feel free , its called Royal William Yard , do a Yahoo image search and you can get the quote bang on , they have some lovely pics of the whole site , oh , by the way , did i mention that my old man holds the purse strings down there !

Good luck chaps  ;D
