Need to put a 25'x25' grid on top of satellite images. I've been googling and coming up with little.

25'x25'? What size printer you got??

I assume you want to have a scaled grid that represents 25'x25' in top of some image?

Do you care what map is used? (Bing, Google Earth, Apple maps,.etc)

Not at all, so far I've looked into using google earth and HERE maps but any maping system will do.

If the map is of something in Texas, the easiest thing to do would be download the aerial photography from TNRIS, import the raster images into coordinate space in CAD or a GIS program then draw out the grid and print.

Have you tried laying out rulers on the area that you're trying to grid and then waiting for Google to update the satellite picture?

I'm available for a small fee. The lines can be any color you want as well.

The map can be pretty much anywhere in the world unfortunately but I figured I might need to use a GIS program.

Close enough, this is government money so does $130k sound good?

For a fellow Ag, I'd be willing to agree to that price.

I just spent some time looking and i didn't find much either. I figured this would easily exist as a Web page.

I've written .kml for Google Earth and see some stuff out there that might work, but I don't think I should download Google Earth on my work computer.

Kml wasn't that hard to figure out. Check out this nearby.org.uk/google.html#17

It seems this guy has attempted what you are asking for, using Google Earth. Hopefully you find a solution, today and if not, I'll look again soon.

We use leaflet.js to map out buildings/structures on our website and store location information and I was hoping there was a leaflet plugin that could do what I'm looking for but it seems most of them only customize their cell sizes by pixels.

I'd give that link a shot. If you have Google Earth, just download the .kml file after downloading.

Create your grid in a word document. Save it as a PDF. Open Google Earth and click "Add Image Overlay" from the button menu at the top. Scale accordingly and set the opacity very low so that you can see the imagery.

EDIT: Sorry, just realized I wrote save as PDF. Don't do that. Save as JPEG or something similar.

You could do this in Microsoft Visio. Just import the pic, set the scale appropriately, and then tell it to show gridlines. done.

I'd seen that sight before haircut and it wasn't really doing it.

However, with preda help, I can do it in acgis.

Did you try www.gridontopofsatelliteimage.com? They probably have exactly what you're looking for.
