Re: [PSES] Google Earth Pro Now Free

[Doug Powell]

I installed Pro last night and it went very smoothly.   I am hopeful I can do much more than just see pretty images however. One of my latest personal projects is geospacial data visualization and GIS. Check it out here, http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/articles/googleearthasmapviewer/ Now, combine this with Google Liquid Galaxy with about three HD projectors arranged seamlessly in a curved wall and you have something which is really very impressive.   Thanks, - doug Douglas Powell http://www.linkedin.com/in/dougp01   From: Ed Price Sent: Monday, February 2, 2015 6:03 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Reply To: Ed Price Subject: [PSES] Google Earth Pro Now Free FYI:   Google has now made their Google Earth Pro available for free (it used to cost $400 for a 1 year license, but demand is so low that it looks like they gave up trying to squeeze some money out of this version). Here’s what the Pro can do that the non-Pro version can’t: Print images at 4800×3200; non-Pro is capped at 1000×1000. Automatically import a few thousand addresses at once to be pinned on a map. You can create a club membership maps or special interest maps, like show every Wal-Mart in Manitoba. Capture HD videos of what’s on screen. Measure distances/areas using lines, paths, polygons, circles, and more. Non-pro can only handle lines/paths. This is really handy if you want to measure real estate or estimate construction projects. All you have to do is go to https://geoauth.google.com/gev0/free_trial.html and fill out the registration form. Ignore anything about costs and buying and free trials. After filling out the form, Google will send you your key by email.   Then, go to http://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html to start the INSTALL. Google Earth Pro will install onto your machine (if you have Google Earth already, it will preserve your preferences and locations) and automatically remove the old Google Earth. Totally painless and quick installation.   Ed Price WB6WSN Chula Vista, CA USA 1961 Amphicar 770 2001 Fleetwood Storm 31W 2008 Ford Explorer   - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
