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. > > This software is a really good platform to understand the places. We can have virtual visits to places where we have never been before. ----- ### "Google Earth Pro Review" — 5.0/5 > **Jackie** | *4 April 2025* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to provide users with to see the land and properties within a specified area physically. > > **Cons**: Will not always have the most recent up to date data for a specific area. > > Amazing.
