Glad everyone is enjoying this! Even though I have many screenshots of locations I can place, it's hard to find the time sometimes to put it together, but updates should keep coming.
Steve - I haven't used the flight simulator much but I found a few links. This
page might have what you're looking for. And here's the complete
Google Earth User Guide. Hope these help.

Yeah, at least one common location in the show comes to mind. Sorry to be coy, but I'm hoping to find it on my own and if I mention the location I'm afraid someone might know. If not offhand, someone who worked on the show could be asked. Anyhow, every Sherlock Holmes needs a Professor Moriarty to tackle, least he become bored and reach for the opium.
I can say though there aren't any locations I've given up on. At least for those locations in the show which have enough clues to make a positive ID possible.

I will be planning a vacation around this.
Seriously.
I just reread part of the thread and I had meant to respond to this (from page 2). I think a vacation based on visiting Magnum P.I. locations would be a great way to see Oahu. There are so many locations that are interesting in their own right. Being a Magnum P.I. fan would add to the experience but needn't be required. Going quickly around in google earth, I see a number of places of interest:
USS Arizona Memorial - Almost Home (3.11)
Kapena Falls - The Treasure of Kalaniopu'u (6.9)
Queen Emma Summer Palace - Forever in Time (8.5)
Punchbowl National Cemetery - The Last Page (2.20)
Oahu Cemetery (founded 1844) - Forever in Time (8.5) (and others)
Manoa Chinese Cemetery - China Doll (1.3)
The Honolulu Zoo - (a few episodes)
Tantalus Lookout - (a small number of episodes)
The Contemporary Museum Honolulu - the home of Diane & Diedre Dupres from Echoes of the Mind (5.1 & 5.2) and the home of Mitsu McWilliams from The Taking of Dick McWilliams (2.10) - (two separate former houses now on the same property)
Hanauma Bay - (a few episodes more or less)
Sandy Beach Park - (a number of episodes)
Makapuu Lighthouse area - (a number of episodes)
Sea Life Park - Old Acquaintance (6.3)
Kamehame Ridge - (a number of episodes)
New Town and Country Stables (if there's something going on) - (a number of episodes)
Pali Golf Course - (a few episodes)
Byodo-in-Temple, Valley of the Temples - (many episodes)
Kaaawa Valley - (many episodes)
There's many more depending on the personal preference. I wouldn't mind simply sitting for a while under the tree from Let Me Hear the Music (5.18 ). You could also take a drive through the wealthy Kahala neighborhood, and the Nuuanu Valley. Or go to the North Shore and see many locations. And of course there's too many locations in Waikiki and the downtown and state capital areas to mention.
All these places and more would be an excuse to drive around, explore and learn about Oahu. Just pick and choose.
