What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

being able to type in a post code or place name to find somewhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

The ongoing problem I have is that there is no good way of organising placemarks. I have hundreds and hundreds but only the small panel to work with. In practical terms this means putting them into folders is impossible. They show no interest in helping this - and it would be so easy to do because it is very easy to organise eg bookmarks in Firefox.

In recent times the image quality has deteriorated so it is very often extremely difficult to find places and using images becomes less and less feasible.

There is no customer support and they seem to have disabled the feedback feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Earth Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past it has helped me to find places and even people nearby. But in recent times it has become close to useless which is wny I am now actively looking round for alternative solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

Love the ability to customize the area that I'd like to show and then be able to export the image at the resolution that works for my needs (also nice to be able to turn different label layers on or off, as well as other items like the Map Title, compass, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

Sometimes the program is a little sensitive when using an optic mouse and will zoom in or out a bit when you don't mean to -- but this is really a very minor thing (and probably more the fault of the mouse sensitivity, or the user, lol) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My company works mainly with clients in the Real Estate industry, so these maps & the ability to save high-res versions of them is indispensable! Perfect addition to finish off something that highlights a property for sale (and its surrounding area) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

Google Earth Pro's high-resolution imagery empowers precise site analysis, while GIS data integration enhances impact assessments. The 3D measurement feature ensures accurate quantification of potential effects. Its video creation and high-quality visuals streamline presentations. In the realm of Environmental Impact Assessment reports, Google Earth Pro seamlessly blends advanced tools with user-friendly design, optimizing both efficiency and outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

Its learning curve could be steep, particularly for those new to GIS, and it can strain computer resources when handling complex visualizations. Offline functionality, though present, might not fully meet fieldwork needs. Privacy concerns should be considered when working with sensitive data. Additionally, a reliable internet connection is essential for optimal functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Earth Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Google Earth Pro plays a pivotal role in tackling key challenges within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes. It enhances the accuracy of site analysis through high-resolution imagery, enables the integration of diverse data sets using GIS capabilities, and supports precise impact quantification with its 3D measurement tool. By offering exclusive data layers, facilitating efficient documentation, and aiding historical analysis, Google Earth Pro ultimately optimizes the EIA workflow, improves decision-making, and elevates the overall quality of impact assessment reports.

What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

Google Earth as the name suggests is one of the most powerful engines to provide a detailed view of any place on Earth. It is much better than using Google Maps satellite view to locate and know more about any particular place on Earth. The interface is so simple to use and you don't need to sign-up anywhere to use this service. Search for "Google Earth" on the web and you're ready.

The precision and detailing are better than any other vendor by far. You can get the street view by moving the arrow across the road/highway and visiting every place recorded in the Google database. It not only provides a detailed view of the land but also captures details on mountains, oceans, and forests. Try it you'll enjoy using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

Google Earth is a powerful service to provide details of places across the globe. The only cons I found of using it is that it sometimes takes much time to load on the web. Additionally it would be great if it provides users features to save favourite places on the Google Earth so that we can refer to it later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Earth Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Google Earth to get detailed "Geographic Information" on the nearby areas. This helps us to design our shipment and transportation service and saves hundreds of hours needed to shift goods from one place to another. The street view detailing is extremely useful that we use it to generate a detailed route from one place to another. Google Earth also keeps its information up to date hence we don't have to worry about any of demography changes that happened in the past. This is a very useful service and I recommend everyone to try it once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

I'm a GIS specialist and use Google Earth Pro to help with sharing data with non-GIS staff. Features can be easily converted to KMLs in ArcGIS and shared with staff. Earth also accepts rest services so viewing things like USGS maps is easily done.I love the amount of features available. You get more than just access to Google basemaps and direction look up. I enjoy that it can be downloaded as a desktop application and as an online application. It can be customized to show various types of coordinate systems. One of the best features is that you can visiualize the terrain in 3D views. Its a free and powerful application and integral for anyone doing any sort of spatial analysis. It also has access to older satellite imagery, making it helpful for determining changes over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

The overall feel of the GUI is a bit outdated but at the same time there is success in its simplicity. As a GIS person, I would love improvements on the ability to overaly images with a bit more control, but this doesnt detract from its other features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Earth Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides access to an easy to use interface for exploring the world. The contents pane is simple and easy to use and provides many ways to customize data. For anyone looking to share shapefiles or features layers from GIS programs with non-GIS users, this is probably the single best application to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
