Google Earth

The other day I mentioned that I could not upgrade a Win7 machine to
Win10 until I first uninstalled Google Earth.

Once I got Win10 installed I noticed that there was no version of Google
Earth for Win10 and their site directed me to use the Chrome browser and
access Google Earth from there. That worked but today I wanted to see if
I could get the stand-alone version of Google Earth working in Win10
and see that if I use Google Earth /Pro/ instead, it indeed will work
with Win10. I was reluctant to use it because I did not want to pay for
the app. but see now they offer it free.

Development on Pro was stopped several years ago.






I rarely use it, mostly I was just experimenting to see how it worked.
Plus because several here said the stand-alone version worked with Win10
I had to see for myself.

Personally, Google Earth in the Chrome browser does a nice job for me.

You can download the last version of Non Chrome Google Earth at this URL

http://filehippo.com/download_google_earth/

I had Google Earth 7.1.8.3036 running on Windows 10 AE, and when I saw
that there may be a problem getting a real version of Google Earth; I
downloaded Google Earth 7.1.8.3036 and saved it to my Software folder.

You can also get it at this site.

Just checked and their latest version is two months old, so it seems
like development has not stopped.

As I stated before. Google Earth Chrome is very fast at what it does, but
it doesn't do much. I use the ruler and pushpins a lot, and I don't see
either one of them in Google Earth Chrome. I will stick with my Pro version
for now.

The latest BUILD date for Google Earth Pro is 1/17/2017. That doesn't mean
that there is still development going in. I would assume that it gets
rebuilt every time they fix a defect, or whenever MS releases a new version
of Win10, to make sure it stays compatible.

Google has become a predator!

I don't care one way or the other if development is still going on or
not, all I care about is, "does it work?"

, running Google Earth on Win7, Win8.1 & Win10
with no issues whatever.. GE pro runs on Win10 with no problem.

also agree with the above,
GE Chrome is nice & flashy , but features are not near as good or as
usable as the installed GE...

Would like to see the images updated in all versions.. Bing Maps can &
does present some much better aerials at times...
