Welcome to Google Enterprise: Earth and Maps

Deployment Options

Flexible, scalable Google Earth Enterprise can easily support a few, or even thousands, of users, whether they are connected to the internet or working in areas where connectivity is limited.

Google Earth Enterprise software

The Google Earth Enterprise software is comprised of two distinct software packages that work together to build and host your private Google Earth globes and Google Maps.

• Google Earth Enterprise Fusion combines all of your imagery, terrain, KML, and vector data into a Google Earth globe or a Google Map.
• Google Earth Enterprise Server Software allows you to host your private or public globe or map for your users to access via Google Earth client or a Google Maps browser.
• Google Earth Enterprise Client Like the familiar Google Earth client – with more than 500 million downloads worldwide – the Google Earth Enterprise client offers your users a seamless, familiar interface that's easier to use than standalone GIS software.
• Google Earth API The Google Earth API gives your users the best of both worlds, allowing them to easily view 3D data in any browser. View the technical requirements for using Google Earth Enterprise or the FAQs.

Google Maps API integration

Google Maps API with Google Earth Enterprise lets your organization take full advantage of the Google Maps API, allowing secure offline access to this rich development environment. Extending the familiar Google Maps API – used by thousands to create JavaScript-powered custom mapping applications – Google Earth Enterprise delivers an environment for developing and using online or offline map-based applications. Additionally, Google Earth Enterprise supports the creation of applications that convert your existing imagery into 2D map tiles viewable as customized Google Maps. Using the Google Maps API and Google Earth Enterprise allows your organization to build custom Google Maps applications with complex internal data such as imagery and multi-node vector data. Google Maps API functionality is included with Google Earth Enterprise, allowing your organization to securely store and share your customized mapping applications in the way that best meets your business needs.

Google Maps integration with Google Earth Enterprise lets organizations:

• build Google Maps API powered mapping applications with the same data you use to build custom Google Earth globes
• leverage more complex internal data sets for your mapping applications
  
• create custom Google Maps using imagery and complex vector data
• move your mapping data to a browser and personalize the application using the Google Maps API

This integration also lets users create a hybrid Google Maps applications that overlay your complex GIS data on top of public Google Maps tiles – an ideal situation for organizations that have many complex vector datasets but limited imagery on hand.
