I think you misread the post. I use the google earth image to
familiarise myself with the route and the look of the destination
airfield in particular before the flight, not as a substitute for a
navigation chart. I also use it to check runway orientation which
is information not always readily available on unlicensed airstrips in
Australia.
I've noticed on our Google Earth they've included topdressing
airstrips (in the correct locations)
Getting to where you just find the strip lat/long dial the location
into a GPS and go straight there..
