I have made some really large high res images from GE but it was not easy.  
  a.. You to make sure you have the tilt set so you are looking straight down. 
  b.. Make sure you have a zoom that will work to stitch together all the 
images.  
  c.. Zoom too much and you have too many images to stitch. 
  d.. Zoom out too far you you lose the detail you want. 
  e.. Check all the resolution and other options in the “Save Image” feature of 
GE. 
  f.. Save the image and note some landmark. 
  g.. Use the arrow buttons to move things around keeping the landmark still in 
view on the edge. 
  h.. Save the next and pick a new landmark etc etc.  
  i.. Make sure there is decent overlap in each image using landmarks. 
  j.. Then use the image composite editor to stitch them all together.  

Took me quite a bit of bit of trial and error to get the individual images 
overlapping and such that ICE could stitch them.
If  you touch the zoom or tilt, you will have to start over.  If you change 
resolutions you will have to start over.
Also there are a couple of options in ICE you need to choose.  
Don’t recall what they are at the moment but seems like “scan” was one of them. 
 It flattens the perspective I belive.

IMO Google Earth is super weird about things like this.

In the current version you can ctrl+click to select multiple objects in the 
left hand pane.....but for many years you would have had to move one point to a 
folder at a time.   They added a circle tool at some point, but that's another 
one that was inexplicably missing for years.

You still can't make multiple selections from the map view.  Not by ctrl+click 
or shift+click and not by dragging a box around objects.  


It's possibly the most convenient tool for viewing GIS data (within it's 
performance limits), but it's awkward at manipulating or creating it.

  Create a folder for each region. 
  Put all your pins for that region in the folder.
  Right click on the folder and select properties.
  Select Style, Color tab.
  Under Icon select the the Color you want and it will change all pins to that 
color.

      You can select the ones you want in a group and change their color. That 
would be a simple way to do it.

an image of each grid and are trimming the 30 page prints to tape back together

        would still like to group

            we have 150 customers to swap out, we have them in GE and are 
trying to get the schedule organized, we want to do them geographically. Is 
there a way to  
            A. print google earth map with the pins(and labels), even if its a 
bunch of pages taped together
            B regionate and group the pins in each region

            I assume if we had a right proper GIS this would be a snap, but im 
lost.
