The best way, if you have visible items in satellite maps on Google
Earth, is to use the built-in distance and bearing facility.

map length to "feet"
click the cross-hair over spot 1, then click cross-hair over spot 2.
Distance and bearing from spot 1 to spot 2.
At one place I know of, the original estimate of direction was later
proven to be off by 13-14 degrees when finally done in Google Earth
That works great. Obviously the accuracy improves if you pick a more
distant landmark.
