Overall, my experience with Google Earth Pro has been good. The program's ease of use and wide range of capabilities make it a superb tool for displaying and analyzing spatial data.

Pros:

Making use of Google Earth Pro was a lot of fun. I enjoyed being able to travel the world from the convenience of my computer the most. I was impressed by the outstanding high-resolution satellite photography and like how simple it was to zoom in on particular areas of the program. Additionally, the application provides a number of tools for making unique maps, calculating distances, and even performing spatial analyses. For both personal and business use, I find Google Earth Pro to be a really helpful and interesting tool.

Cons:

I have nothing to dislike about Google Earth Pro so far.

One of the best software to visualize 3d plans

I really like it. I used to use it to look for different plans and 3D views to install central solar panels; it was very useful.

Pros:

I like the fact that we can explore the world. Moreover, we can easily see the word in different plans and angles. It is very easy to use.

Cons:

I think that the interface can be more modern. Sometimes I feel that the software needs to have a change in the interface because it looks too old.

Pros:

I’m using Google Earth Pro for more than two years. This is easy to download and deploy. Google Earth Pro consists of several key features that are really helpful for spatial analysts and planners to understand a particular location. For example, it provides a street view imagery of most parts of the world and users can have a real feeling about the place. Further, this software is having a facility to generate elevation profiles by adding two points to a path. Currently, some countries are having 3D building facilities too. My very first experience was identifying the locations using the search option. With time, I have used Google Earth Pro for various purposes. As a planner, I’m doing land use and landform mapping to identify hazard-prone locations. In that case, I’m using Google Earth Pro to identify land use categories and their changes using historical imageries. For landform mapping also I’m using this software to identify some physical features like escarpments, ridges, isolated hillocks, and slope types using the terrain option. This supports to import of various types of data formats including ESRI shapefile, Geo TIFF, kml, and images that are commonly used by spatial analysts. Further, this software is integrated with other spatial mapping software like ArcGIS & QGIS. For example, QGIS provides a plugin called ‘Send2GE’, which is linked with Google Earth Pro.

Cons:

Saving more placemarks, polygons, and paths to my places, directly affect the performance of the software.

Pros:

Google earth is a digitalized map created based on the satellite images and data. It supports GPS and you will be able to locate you or any location in the world with google earth pro. As a civil engineer I used this application for hydrological analysis by analyzing contour maps, and coordinates through this app.

Cons:

It would be better if google earth includes real-time images like google street view.

Pros:

1. You can zoom in and out to any place on earth to have a close aerial view – cities, mountains, beaches, roads, buildings, and so on. 2. Start-up tips provide guidance – just in time. 3. Try different layers to have a different perspective of exciting places on the earth. 4. Search any place, creating an exciting animation for you to reach there. 5. In street view, you can see a 360-degree view of the location. 6. This app has a flight simulator, where you can fly f-16 or SR22. 7. You can copy the images or view the location and share by email. 8. With the Movie Maker option, you can record the animation. 9. With historical imagery, you can view a site developing from 1984 to 2022. 10. The search bar instantly takes you to the place with an aerial view at about 700 meters.

Cons:

1. Most visuals are unclear, perhaps not provided from the security point of view. Most images are apparent up to 300 meters in height only. 2. The toolbar and menu have several icons and settings that take time to understand. 3. You can also view the sky, Mars, and Moon, but there are hardly any clear images available. 4. Installation seems to be a bit insecure with a *.exe file. Alternatively, browser or mobile app options are also available. 5. Initial excitement tapers off after some time due to a lack of interface and explicit imagery.

I like many things, the way the maps are displayed, the zoom, the marking of companies and objects on the map and the ability to put your own photos, measurement of objects, thematic layers, historical photos, etc.

Cons:

The appearance of the application could be more modern because it currently resembles the design of windows 98.
