"Google Earth Pro: Powerful, versatile and best of all, free"
5/5
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"
1/5
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!"
5/5
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.

"Review of Google Earth Pro"
4.5/5
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.

"Google Earth: Locate any place from anywhere on the Earth"
5/5
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.

"More than just Google Maps"
5/5
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.
