FOR THOSE WHO haven’t used it already, Google Earth is probably one of the best mapping tools out there, for both educational purposes and for killing a few minutes of your time.
Now the pro version – which was designed with enterprises and companies in mind – is now a free download.
While a free version has already existed, the Pro version required you to pay up to $399 (€349) per year to access features like advanced measuring tools, a movie maker which allows you to create clips of cities and data layers like demographics and traffic counts.
The reason behind the change isn’t clear, but if you want to download it, follow this link, have a look at the privacy policy and click ‘agree and download’.
When you’ve installed it and booted it up, you’re asked to enter in your email/username and a product key (don’t mind the ‘free trial’ URL on that link, it’s still a free download).
Once you’ve that done, a whole world awaits you. Enjoy!

A year earlier and this would have made my thesis a shit load easier.
The journal: Yesterday’s news today…today…today.
Why would you bother comment then? I simply do not understand.No need to make such comments.
Conor if its yesterdays news today why are you bothering to read the Journal? BTW, not everybody gets a chance to see yesterdays news yesterday.
Can it see my arse?
Just checked………uuggh!…pull those curtains!
Always had the regular version, nice to get this for free, thanks for the heads up OP.
Now I can zoom in on the lotto scammers!
Very handy, thanks a lot Quinton!
It can be offered free or for nothing but “for free” makes no sense. When did free become a noun? It is on the radio all the time. It’s like saying “I got this car for expensive”!!!
GEPFREE is the product key.
There is no such thing as a free lunch with any of these large corporate. The catch will be some spying Trojan built into the app.
Do you feel silly now Google are giving it away for free?
Was always free with a cracked version on torrents :)
Ahhhhhh… still the old picture of the house!
Only reason it’s being offered for free is because google are going to axe earth soon enough, saw it about a week or 2 ago!
Ahhhhhh… still the old picture of the house!!
My mam going mad her new windows aren’t up yet, she wanted to ring google…
