Google has long offered a Pro version of Google Earth for $399 per
year that includes some pretty cool extras not found in the free
version.
Now Rick Broida reports at Cnet that you can get Google Earth Pro absolutely free.
All you have to do is download the installer,
run it, then sign in using your e-mail address (as your username) and
license code GEPFREE.
Features include:
Advanced measurements: Measure
parking lots and land developments with polygon area measure, or
determine affected radius with circle measure;
High-resolution printing:
Print images up to 4,800 x 3,200 pixel resolution;
Exclusive pro data
layers with Demographics and traffic count;
Spreadsheet import: Ingest
up to 2,500 addresses at a time, assigning place marks and style
templates in bulk;
and Movie-Maker: Export Windows Media and QuickTime
HD movies, up to 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution.
If you've ever been
involved in a property dispute, you'll know how acrimonious they can
get.
Google Earth Pro includes parcel data that definitively defines property boundaries.
"Do you really need this? Probably not, as Pro was created with
business/enterprise users in mind," writes Broida. "
Let's be honest,
[Google Earth Pro has] entertainment value that's virtually impossible
to measure."
