How to set Map to preset viewing height:

1) Add a place marker from Toolbar (yellow push pin. if you already have one just edit it in your places list)
2) In pop up box under the VIEW tab set the RANGE: to x number of meters and click OK (I work in meters)
3) check ground scale in bottom left corner.
4) open Starting location from Places and ajust RANGE: Up or down depending on desired ground scale.

Now when you click on your starting location the map will zoom in or out to your desired ground scale then press n and the map will rotate so north is at the top of map (i.e north is always up)

How to get contour lines:

you will need a 1px x 1px white dot or any color you like

1) zoom map out to see more area than you are mapping
2) Ctrl + Shft + O green lines will appear on the map, you can drag these out to cover your area
3) in the pop up box put in a NAME:. I tend to name them 20m, 30m, 35m etc
4) LINK: Find your white pixel and connect it.
5) set TRANSPARENCY: I tend to put the slider in line with the LOCATION tab
6) Open the ALTITUDE: tab and change dropdown to Absolute and enter an altitude: in meters and click ok

You should now see this layer under places. layers can now be turned on and off using the check boxes

How to get images:

1) find image you want
2) Ctrl + Alt + T hides toolbar
3) F11 Full screen mode (give you a little more image)
4) Ctrl + S opens popup to save image (will save the image

once I have my google earth maps I overlay the 1947 black and whites to see the changes.
