I've exported a .jpg of a google earth image and put a text box on top using the generic photo program for macs. Does that help?

so, you have to export? ok.  I was hoping it had some internal function.

TIm,

I just do a screen capture, then paste and save it off in paint.exe as a jpeg, then add txt to it.  Works pretty well and its easy to then upload to Photobucket.

Well, of course it depends on how elaborate the text is but you can just add a 'placemark' anywhere.  With a placemark you have a description field (maybe 50 or 60 characters?), choice of the little marker thingy (thumbtack, flag, fork, etc.), size, color, opacity.  The placemark is tethered to a specific geolocation (say a the center of a green).  You can also attach an image or a link if the above doesn't get you what you want.
