I had noticed the other day that there was an option in the satellite view on Google Maps a measure option. I decided to test it out and found it to be pretty well dead on. Can see the distance show near the ridge of my shop's roof, which is 60' long.
Instructions are at the link below, but it's pretty much right click on the starting point, click Measure Distance, then click on the end point. Can click the end point again and it will go away. You may need to rotate the maps using the compass as some pics have some parallax, but most work.
