Google Earth Pro combines satellite imagery, maps, and the power of Google Search to bring the worldโs geographic information to your fingertips.
Fly from space to your neighborhood. Type in an address and zoom right in. Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions. Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings. Save and share your searches and favorites. Even add your annotations.
Google Earth allows smooth flybys of the entire planet. You can easily navigate to any location by entering associated data, such as street addresses, place names, or latitude and longitude coordinates.
Overlays provide additional information on the map, such as roads, international boundaries, terrain, 3D buildings, crime statistics, schools, stadiums, and other engaging details.
You can do Local searches in the program, with icons on the map and a display on the side showing your results. You can leave notes, called โplacemarksโ all over the map, so you can remember where all sorts of places are.
Searches and placemarks can be saved as bookmarks in ‘My Places.’ All data can be exported in an XML format called KML, ensuring compatibility with Google Maps. You can email a JPEG of the map or share a KMZ file if the recipient has Google Earth installed.
