Google Earth (not Maps) will give you the area of a polygon that you draw. A much simpler estimation is simply using the scale found on google Maps. Granted, the estimation using maps has to make some allowances for irregular shaped fields. I estimated our clubs plots and compared them to a guy who calculated them so he could give us a quote on planting. I was off by less than an acre and we're talking 40 plots covering 33 acres, so I guess you can safely say that the estimations are 95% accurate, give or take a little.
