Thanks, I'll check that out.When you click that link, instead of hitting the “open Sentinel Playground” green button go to the top of page and click on Explore, and then EO Browser, next hit the start exploring button, this will bring up a map much easier to use with my Ipad, I should be all set now,
If anybody is using this and more tech savvy than myself please let me know, this exactly what I have been looking for, up to date satellite imagery, if only I could get an overlay of topo lines or roads at least, I hope that makes sense, if somebody can figure this out please post how, thanks!Redirecting…

This is free too, I agree the imagery is not as good as ONX, I just need to know basic up to date info, the logging has been so active lately some of my spots were flat last year when I showed up and what a mess that was, I had no idea.Most of what you look at on OnX, google earth, etc is aerial photography and not satellite imagery. Commercially available (most Landsat) satellite imagery, at least in the past, had 30 meter resolution (very coarse compared to photos). If it only has satellite imagery, then I would not find it as useful for digital scouting as aerials.
I'd make sure that a free ESRI viewer download and a trip to your state's and the USGS GIS clearinghouse would not accomplish the same thing for free.
Most likely, Sentinel doesn't own any satellites. They just compile data, a lot of which is probably available free.

Good deal, if free, then I might check it out also.
On Google Earth, there's a slider up top and you can go back in time. I use it to go back in time and see where there were clearcuts. Also, I pick winter images without leaves and snow on the ground and that helps find edges and such.
How do you pick winter images? The versions I've used have only had images from about May thru October maybe.Good deal, if free, then I might check it out also.

let's make sure we're looking at same button

it's the clock with the green back arrow
it's the luck of the draw for your area what images are available, it depends upon when the aerial photo planes flew over that area
if they are on a schedule then certain areas might not get winter images (just guessing) or maybe some areas are more or less safe to fly in winter and that adjusts things
but google also might not be showing everything available
i would also google
aerial photos
or something similar and look for your area
i forget the names of the agency programs that did/do these, and will try to find some search terms
this will get you started hopefully, most images can probably be downloaded and then imported into google earth (with maybe some steps in there....things like this aren't often easy)

Yeah I don't have that on the Google Earth Pro version that I have now. I did however have it on the original version I used to have. That's what I was talking about when I said May to October.
