Google Earth joins the Google Maps Platform family
By Dan Meyer, Product Marketing Manager, Google Earth
Over the last year we’ve introduced new capabilities, datasets and generative AI tools to ensure we’re further helping all of our users to more efficiently explore, analyze, build, and collaborate, using our interactive model of the world. This includes investing in new capabilities for sustainability professionals and geospatial practitioners who use Google Earth everyday for work.
To better serve our professional users, last year we introduced enhanced visualization with historical and improved satellite imagery, abstract basemaps, and no-code geospatial evaluation and analysis capabilities, enabling professionals in urban planning, real estate development and clean energy to evaluate building and solar design options in minutes. We also announced the pilot of Gemini capabilities in Google Earth to enable professionals to reduce the time spent finding, preparing and analyzing data from days to just minutes, without GIS training or code.
As we continue to build new advanced visualization, planning and analysis tools for urban planners, real estate developers, construction managers, architects and more, today we’re bringing Google Earth — which remains available for everyone — and our new geospatial analytics products into the Google Maps Platform family.
You can continue using the same Google Earth you know and love. If you’re new to Earth or are an existing user, visit our new website to see how you can use no-code geospatial evaluation and analysis tools to enable faster, more holistic decision making and seamless collaboration.
