A similar product, Google Earth Enterprise is now open source, amazingly. (http://www.opengee.org/)

Not to be confused with Google Earth Engine, which is the most shocking piece of technology I’ve come across in my career and is absolutely free if you can get access: https://earthengine.google.com/

Hey, either this news didn't reach my community or it went without much fanfare. What is it compared to Google Earth Pro?

Earth = consumer globe viewer.

Earth Pro = prosumer Google Earth.

Earth Enterprise = private, offline globe.

Earth Engine = research-oriented massively parallelized ML-based imagery analysis platform.

Google Earth Enterprise is a very different thing, but is a great call out.

As someone outside of this space, why do you find it shocking?

Intrigued. Why ‘shocking piece of technology’?

The Twitter thread linked at the very top of the page talks about it. https://twitter.com/mouthofmorrison/status/12656350684684861...

Point 9? That Google could (will?) just kill it at some point?
