We also have the problem that large sections of the Irish coastline are not up on Google earth yet.

typical, though the version i have seems to pretty much have everywere covered, though not in super detail..it still enable almost decent acuracy for placing your marks
have you tried downloading the latest version

some of the images of some of the more remote marks are a bit blury but generally i would say about 80% of my marks are pretty clear, even to the extent of seeing tiny features on a beach such as trickles of water or boulders.

MC,

what i do is put a place marker (the big yellow pin) on the specific peg that i fished or as near as i can get to it.

heres an example of inch strand in east cork.

if i double click on the pins i can see all the notes that i have added on that specific mark.

ive noticed there are only certain areas of the map on ireland that have a good quality zoom picture, the rest is blurred, but sure as long as you know it yourself and have the approx area marked it still does the job
