Google Earth Pro Reviews & Product Details

Google Earth Pro gives you the opportunity to plot the coordinates of a land so you can visible see the size of the property before you buy it. It allows you to see a clear street view. You don’t have to know the actually street name but once you have the coordinates of the location you’ll be allow to find it. It allow gives you option to even pin locations or better yet record a tour of the land. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have a problem with Google Earth Pro, it is really easy to use and gets the job done. The only issue that I have at times is that if you leave the software open too long without saving the data you have enter you may lose it. This is a big turn off at times especially when you have plotted all four coordinates of a property. But apart from that the software is a life saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Herramienta muy útil para hacer mediciones, hacer visitas previas y tomar información topográfica de manera aproximada. Me gusta que esta actualizado y que tiene buen soporte, cada año van actualizando las imágenes y es bastante útil ya que le ahorran a uno tiempo y hasta se puede ver el historial de cambios que han hecho, tienen imágenes de hace décadas.

Tambien me gusta que tiene el respaldo de Google, tiene toneladas de informacion que en otros lugares tendrian un costo elevado, ademas de eso llegan a sitios remotos que otros no han llegado. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debería existir una version en CD o DVD, algo que uno pueda cargar para todos datos, una version que tenga la informacion por paises y no uno tener que depender del internet, adicional a esto la version para dispositivos celulares tal vez sea muy pesada. La aplicacion tiene un diseño viejo tal vez, pero eso es porque seguramente asi es mas liviana, sin embargo me parece que deberian intentar actualizar el diseño Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The imagery helps with identifying site features and relative location. The ability to physically pin addresses and locations has been invaluable for quickly toggling between locations. Sometimes I'll forget the address I'm looking for but Google doesn't. Once you pin an address/location, Google Earth Pro also saves the latitude and longitude which really helps when filling out site applications or performing field work. LOVE that the imagery date and elevations are shown in the bottom corner of the program - super helpful in understanding how recent some developments are. Distance tool is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to edit your pins once created. Sometimes the slow, artistic pan from the whole world view to your desired location can be annoying. Occasionally the distance tool will act up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accuracy of distance and coordinates, saved custom geometric shapes, e.g. lines, areas, etc., and measurements of areas. Ability to import from Garmin GPS. E-mailing capability. Options are fairly substantial including tilt settings. Satellite imagery is kept fairly up to date (but would prefer to see more frequent updates as developments, infrastructure improvements, etc., change much more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When entering a location and zooming in, the popup tag for that location stays displayed and have to manually remove. The compass aspect ratio doesn't default to perpendicular to ground and moving around area, the aspect ratio changes. When moving/panning around an area, regardless of the scale, the compass directional position changes requiring a reset to true North. The elevation details do not seem to be very accurate.

the high clarity in zoom images are the best things which i like the most.as we can see the clarity of images are not lost.can be integrated with any softwares easily.api is very useful to integrate.high resolution photos are the best feature of google earth pro.it is very much useful to manually geo-locate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ofcourse,i hate the high pricing the most.but the thing is google keeps its quality if pricing is high also.but for a common man like me,for the pro features the costing is not affordable.well,google can improve bringing images in real time.actually u willl find the images to be real time,but it is not so Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to get better angles and images which really helps me in my work. I can zoom in even closer than you can using the web version of it. Also it allows you to toggle the date of the image, so you can see older images of the same area in case you need to see changes or just get a better view of a certain item.

When switching from aerial to Street view it doesn't correctly orient to the address that was searched for, it usually points down the road or across the street and I have to try to figure out which house I'm looking for by the color of the roof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So many things, hard to just choose one!

The Ruler tools are great for being able to measure site areas very quickly, very early on in a project. The height data is detailed enough to use for drafting out site models without a detailed topo survey.

Street View is a hugely comprehensive bank of street-level photographs: it can give one an almost unbelievable level of familiarity with an area before physically visiting it. People I've met on holiday have told me of how they have done full reconnaissance of the area before even booking the trip, to make sure everything is as they would like it and no hidden gems are missed out on. While this seems a little full-on for my taste (some element of surprise on holiday is OK, right?), this has been invaluable to me in a professional capacity; primarily when assessing a site not local to you. Even with a closer-to-home location, picking up pieces of info you may have missed out on your site visit is also possible. This review is being written amid the COVID-19 lockdown so it is almost needless to say that being able to conduct virtual site visits at this time has been vital to keeping business going.

Above all, the Pro facility to export high-resolution images has to be the winner: with the ability to roughly scale these, drawing presentation site plans is a cinch! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not too much, in all honesty: more just areas for improvement than dislikes!

It is unfortunate that the interoperability with SketchUp lessened after Trimble bought the 3D modelling software from Google. OpenStreetMap still works fine in this respect, but the synergy between the two programs has stagnated here for 10 or so years: one cannot help but think that this would have improved significantly were the whole suite still owned by the same company.

The inconsistency in the age of Street View data from one street to the next could get frustrating. Some areas look to have been updated several times a year, some not for several years, some have no Street View data at all, which hardly seems insurmountable when one thinks of how long the mapping has been taking place for.

Again, for architectural use, it is possible to use the imagery and the height point data to construct site models, but it would be ideal to be able to export the 3D building terrain data to a format useable by 3D modelling software. Appreciated, with all the companies involved, this would be asking a lot (especially for a free piece of software), but this is more of a wish-list item than a gripe.

A good alternative to other GIS systems I have used. Has all the features of the free google earth and google maps. Can use it in street view also which helps to find buildings.

Ability to integrate with AutoCAD however I can't review too much on that side as I left after we integrated. But AutoCAD integration was easy and can also be integrated with a large number of other software and solutions.

Great for ability to track drivers with GPS systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike some other GIS systems it is all online, and there is no offline option available. Meaning when attempting to find a building or some other satellite feature it can be very slow to use, and always requires an internet connection. Can be hard to view and navigate in satellite mode or street view whilst on a tablet (will change direction too easy). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The realtime experience viewing the world Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little scary what all can be seen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Earth is the user-friendly GIS software that you have been waiting for! It allows you to quickly and easily view high-quality satellite imagery from around the world and make simple polygon or polyline layers. One of my favorite things about Google Earth Pro that stands out among other GIS software is the historical imagery tool which is extremely useful for geographic research! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scrolling and view changing on Google Earth Pro is clunky and sometimes frustrating. This is especially true if you are using a trackpad on a laptop, which renders it nearly impossible to keep north up and the view perpendicular to earth. If they could lock the view and still allow the user to move around, that would be an ideal fix! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can travel practically anywhere in the world and see a snapshot of what that street, landscape looks like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

obviously these are not live shots and some of them are dated, but I do realize that its impossible to capture all of that live or even within the past few weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The movement of 360° is not smooth as from my side ,i feels somehow irritating when i rom in the free space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to measure areas, look at historic aerial photography and streetview Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some areas aren't always up to date in terms of imagery. It would be useful to get different map cop-ordinates and not just lat and long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the first indicators that I liked best is Tips are shown on how to use the tool. Being able to use GPS coordinates was vital when I used the tool for Site Acquisitions . When I found a particular plot, I was able to locate and measure county Infrastructure for vital services needed for the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Image Quality can be enhanced, there is poor quality in some photographs.
