Instead of using Google Earth on a browser, you can download Google Earth Pro for Windows 10 and use Google Earth software directly from your Windows 10 PC desktop. Here’s how to download Google Earth for Windows 10 64-bit or 32-bit for free offline.
Google Earth is free software developed by Google that allows you to view the Earth with high resolution images. It is far superior to basic static maps and older satellite imagery. The images can be so detailed that you can clearly see your house, car, and the people on the streets.
However, high-resolution images are generally only available in large towns and populated towns, while sparsely populated or inhabited areas generally have lower quality images and graphics.
Prior to the release of Google Earth Pro for Windows 10, the only way to use Google Earth was to use browsers that supported Adobe Flash player such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Internet Explorer, by visitinghttps://www.google.com/earth/.
Since Google Earth is also available for desktop now, you can both download and use it right from your computer instead of having to open a browser to use it.
