"It saved me hours of work"
What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

I love that I can upload files with the coordinates of the places I want to locate and that I can save those maps as part of "My Places" and even share them with other people. In my real estate work, this is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

That at the beginning it is not very intuitive to use. It would be great to have a tutorial for each tool to know what options it has and how they can help us in our work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Trouble with being unable to switch of the display of place names in local languages"
What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

The satellite images have a really high resolution and the time back function is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

I really hate the fact that Google Earth is showing place names in local languages with non latin scripts and has no user friendly to turn that off. I have changed my entire systems setting and my email account settings to English (US) only.

I have set the language settings in Google Earth to English (US) only. Still, it is showing the maps for India with place names in both English and the local script.

When I go into the fonts to disable all fonts other than latin the system first says that it needs to be restarted to apply these settings and defaults back to "any" during the restart. This makes the maps created unusable for publication purposes because

1) it is not good to show stuff written in other languages/scrips in submissions to journals that have English as their language.

2) It makes it impossible to cut the map such that no name gets cut.

I am really frustrated about this feature and the non-availability of easy switches to switch it off. I had to stop using labels altogether and start photoshopping names into the map in paint to work around this shitty new feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very usefull for drone pilots"
What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

It's beneficial for drone scouting thanks to its 3D view and sunlight orientation to decide where and when to do drone flights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

It doesn't have cloud or Google Account synchronization, so when you want to share saved places and pins, you need to export KLM documents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Google Earth Pro: Powerful, versatile and best of all, free"
What do you like best about Google Earth Pro?

Despite being a super useful program for locating coordinates of KMZ CAD files, the interface is very intuitive and easy to use. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a very experienced user, working with this software and all the specific functions is quite simple and comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Earth Pro?

Sometimes Google Earth Pro image data can be downloaded for offline use, but much of Google Earth Pro's functionality depends on having an Internet connection, which can be limiting for field work in remote areas and if your work is outside of previously downloaded data.

"They have lost interest"
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.

"Amazing program for map images!"
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.
