They will give you a free license key.

I opened up my existing Google Earth, hit upgrade to pro and followed the directions, took about 10 minutes.

APN's show up now and some lines associated with them.

Anyone know of any other features that come with it?

Thanks!

Did all of your "Place Marks" transfer?

Or did you loose them?

Thanks for the info.

All of my saved Places made the transition. I think Earth and Earth Pro share the same MyPlaces file.

Thanks!!!

Prints to pdf, has higher resolution, can add photo, Title & Legend to prints as well. Import GPS. Movie maker. The parcel data alone is worth the time to upgrade.

FYI Google Earth is retiring its software and it will be replaced by Esri software

That's a sales pitch from Esri. Google would announce the demise of GE on their own.

From what I've read, it's only the enterprise applications -- Earth Enterprise and Maps Engine -- that are slated to sunset. Nothing I've seen yet suggests that Google Earth is going away.

Seems Google Pro loaded with ease, even for this non computer knowledge user, lol. I kept the old Google Earth just in case the FEMA and NGS control didn't transfer over, but to my surprise both layers showed on the updated Google Earth Pro.

Thanks Jay!

Jim is correct, it looks the the Google API is being replaced by an API from esri. This will only effect developers building custom applications using the Google Earth API's. I haven't found any documentation regarding the Google earth website. I wonder if this will affect the DSWorld application?

The whole thing sounds confusing to me anyway.
