Google Earth

We are proud to announce that Google Earth’s data layer coverage has expanded globally 🌍 Learn more 👉 goo.gle/3NJouiW Every high-stakes project happens somewhere. But getting context about that "somewhere" shouldn't require a scavenger hunt. 🌍 Today, we're bringing massive data improvements to Google Earth so you can stop wrangling data and start making decisions: 1️⃣ Global data layer expansion 2️⃣ Google Earth Engine raster data layers 3️⃣ Ask Google Earth data layer integration (Note: Ask Google Earth is currently in Experimental for US web users)

Satellite embeddings are lowering the barrier to building with Earth observation data. Discover how to build scalable, native vector search applications using Google DeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations, Google Earth Engine, and BigQuery. Learn from our expert partners at Spatial Informatics Group and Earth Resources Technology, Inc as they walk you through seamless Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) workflows to bring powerful geospatial insights to any app. 🚀 Read the full guide here: goo.gle/4sTviJW @BiplovBhandari @sig_gis

Whether you are a built-environment pro validating ground truth or a public sector leader managing infrastructure, our professional plans are designed to help you do your best work. There is only one Earth. In 2026, let’s put it to work. 🌍 goo.gle/4syrWM2

3️⃣ Save time and work smarter with Google AI. We are entering the era of agentic geospatial intelligence. Ask Google Earth already makes it possible to turn natural language into professional-grade insights in seconds. This is just the beginning. 🧠⚡

In 2025, we doubled down on evolving Google Earth into a professional-grade geospatial platform. In 2026, we’re hitting the accelerator. 🏎️💨 Our mission: Empower professionals to transform their businesses, their cities, and the planet. Here is what we're building this year 🧵👇 goo.gle/4syrWM2

We are thrilled to announce that Google’s Satellite Embedding dataset, powered by @GoogleDeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations model, has been updated for 2025. This additional year of coverage now unlocks the ability to look back, compare, and detect change across the planet with unprecedented clarity. Learn more here ➡️ goo.gle/3NdIxWn Part of Google's Earth AI, the new data represents the state of the planet throughout 2025, distilling petabytes of multi-sensor data into a 64-dimensional embedding for every 10 meter pixel. What’s new in this update? 🧵👇 - 🌍 2025 Data: The state of the planet throughout 2025 is now available on the Earth Engine Data Catalog and Google Cloud Storage. - 🔬 Unprecedented Change Detection: Because these embeddings capture subtle spectral, spatial and temporal signatures, they make it easy to spot significant year-over-year changes without the heavy lifting of raw image processing. - 💚 Long-term Commitment: We are formalizing our commitment to the ongoing production of these annual layers to support your operational workflows. Since we first launched the Satellite Embedding dataset, we’ve been inspired by how our community is putting this data to work. Applications are ranging from ecosystem mapping and agricultural crop-typing to carbon stock prediction. We can’t wait to see what you do next. #EarthEngine #GeoAI #DeepMind

🌍 Renoster uses @GoogleDeepMind and Earth AI's AlphaEarth Foundations embeddings for carbon mapping. Check out this post ➡️ goo.gle/4b8yvix Learn more about their process and follow along to see how they train and evaluate an embeddings-based regression model for mapping forest height in Maine. 🌲🛰️

The budget is set in the boardroom, but it can break on the ground if site assessments are overlooked. 📉 Developers are saving time and derisking investments by evaluating sites without leaving their desk. Try it yourself ➡️ goo.gle/4rt27gi Protect your time and budget with powerful data layers and imagery like: Zoning data: Is the site available for our project? Terrain layers: Does the slope require expensive grading? Rich imagery: Can we confirm our analysis without a site visit? #GIS #BIM #Sustainability #Agriculture

A massive influx of tourists requires EV infrastructure that can support surges ⚡️ goo.gle/46VI1Tx Use new EV infrastructure data layers like charging station location, charging station counts by postal code, driveway counts, and more in Google Earth to identify the optimal locations to invest. In the US, go even further with EV charging station search interest and outbound, inbound, and intrabound monthly vehicle trips! #Energy #EVCharging #Sustainability

🚨 Discord drop: If you haven't joined the Google Maps Platform Discord yet, now's your chance: goo.gle/3MhnaDp Tomorrow, hear from two of the top voices in geospatial development as they explore how AI could change mapping forever. If you're interested in learning more about geospatial AI, we invite you to join our Discord for community content and conversation.

Gridlock isn't an accident. It's a data problem. 🚦 goo.gle/4aEglUi Moving millions of people through a city requires more than just a map. Planners need deep mobility insights to predict and optimize the flow of traffic. Import custom traffic data directly into Google Earth to visualize bottlenecks and opportunities. Combine your data with powerful data layers like: - Inbound, outbound & intrabound monthly vehicle trips to visualize high traffic areas. - Traffic signal level of service to identify bottlenecks. - Driveway counts to minimize conflict zones. Data layers vary in coverage throughout the globe.

Terrain analysis can be make or break for a project.🏗️ goo.gle/4kB1dvC Mitigating risk when big deadlines are at play is essential. Even in the city, the grade dictates the budget. Professionals in planning, construction, architecture and more use no-code tools in Google Earth to visualize topography before breaking ground. Combine powerful data layers, on-demand tools, and rich imagery to make better site selection decisions, faster. #googleearth #GIS #BIM

From industrial rail yard to modern housing. A revitalization masterclass. 👏 goo.gle/4qxTBvh Transforming Porta Romana from an abandoned railway yard to modern housing isn't magic, it's data. Developers need parcel data, terrain analysis, and more to instantly validate which lots are candidates for revitalization projects. Don't waste months on the wrong plot. Validate your investment before you visit the site. #RealEstate #Construction #bim

Global events are moments in time, but the infrastructure can last a century. 🏙️ goo.gle/4aIdRFG Before the first foundation is poured, planners face a critical question: Where will the legacy live on? It's not just about finding open space. It's about finding the best space. Using data layers like population density, household income, driveway counts, and more in Google Earth, developers can identify areas ripe for investment—turning a short-term event into long-term success. See the data behind the decision. #GoogleEarth #Geospatial
