Well, TPE is not a substitute for a stroll but it is a good tool to find a
shooting vantage point. You still need to go there ahead of time to scout
out the location. I use it on a laptop at home to identify a good spot. It
is easy to identify streets, etc. so I don't need it in the field. You
should give it a try as it is a very useful tool.
