Google has just nixed the subscription fee for Google Earth Pro and has dropped its $399 a year to be completely free. Beyond providing imagery, detailed maps, terrain and 3D building models of the world, Google Earth’s pro-version is particularly convenient for project planning and research; unlike its standard tools, Pro allows users to print images at 4800×3200 px, import and pin thousands of addresses onto the map at once, capture HD videos of what’s on screen, and easily measure distances and areas with polygons, circles and more, rather than with just lines and paths.
Download it for free and fill out a quick form to unlock its Pro features.
