Next to Close for Google?

Post by forester » October 18th, 2016, 12:47 pm

With Panoramio closing down in a few weeks and Google's notorious habit of shuttering niche things still being widely used, anyone else fearing the eventual end for Google Earth?

Yes, I have thought about this. Google Earth crashes with regularity yet no patches are released so I assume it is nearly an abandoned project at this point. ArcGIS Earth appears to be positioning itself to fill that vacuum, though I have yet to try it seriously.

Correction: I see that a new version of Google Earth was released around September 1st.
