I need to pull Google (or any other site if someone knows a better one) aerial photos into AutoCAD.  I import GPS coords from soil sample locations and want to overlay them on an aerial photo.  I do not know how to import the photo into the correct place using coords.  I usually have to manipulate the aerial photo and it takes so much time to get it right.  HELP!

It would help if you had two identifiable points in the aerial photo that you knew the coordinates of.  I think you could then use the ALIGN command to match up the photo with the identical coordinates in your soil sampling survey data.
