What you maybe didn't know is that Google has long offered a Pro version of Earth as well, one that cost a hefty $399 per year. This despite an educational - and, let's be honest, entertainment - value that's virtually impossible to measure. Most amazing of all, Google made this tool available for free. Now we can "fly" to any location and zoom all the way in from space to a couple hundred feet above real, satellite-mapped ground. I mean, seriously, for centuries the only way to get a "bird's-eye" view of our planet was to spin an actual globe. Stroll the streets of Tokyo, soar over Yosemite, or teleport across the globe.Google Earth has been around for years, yet it still makes my jaw drop. Earth VR - Explore the world from totally new perspectives.Earth Engine - combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities and makes it available for scientists, researchers, and developers to detect change, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's Surface.Earth Studio - an animation tool for Google Earth's satellite and 3d Imagery.However, it's not a Geographic Information System (GIS) with the extensive analytical capabilities of ArcGIS or MapInfo, but is much easier to use than those software packages.Īdditional Google Earth applications include: It also offers tools for creating new data layers.
Google Earth provides search capabilities and the ability to pan, zoom, rotate, and tilt the view of the Earth. Google Earth for Web is a browser-based version and Google Earth on mobile is an app.Īlthough the browser-based version has a certain ease of use (since it does not have to be installed as a desktop application), there are some limitations to Earth for Web that do not exist with the Google Earth Pro desktop version.
Google Earth Pro Desktop is free and available to download for Windows, macOS and Linux systems.
