    Default Google Earth Pro

    It is now a free download from Google.
    You have to register to get a License Key.
    You may not succeed at first as their servers are busy so keep trying.

    Shame there is so much personal detail and information gathering attached to signing up.
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!

    What are the advantages of Pro? Sketchup and sketchup Pro were so close, that the Pro version was only necessary in very few cases.

    If you aren't paying for it, you're not the customer. You're the product being sold.

    From Gizmodo:
    "Google Earth Pro, the premium version of Google’s popular Google Earth service, is now free. Google sliced the price from $US400 a year, so this is a pretty solid deal. If you like to make 3D measurements or create HD videos of virtual trips around the world, I’d jump on this. You can download the software key directly from Google and start an online global journey.

    If you spent the past ten years paying $US400 for the service, this news is probably annoying. Unlike standard Google Earth, Google Earth Pro comes with a suite of professional-grade features, like a map-making tool. It’s not clear why Google decided on this freebie."

    Well, you can always give something other than your real details, I suppose.

    Google is the last organisation I would willingly share any of my personal details with.
