Pros
Google Earth is a free software. You can use it on different devices such as desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
It’s easy to navigate, even with limited GIS experience. It suits educational purposes and general exploration perfectly.
The app also includes historical imagery and guided tours, making it a useful educational resource for students and teachers.
Cons
Google Earth lacks in analytical capabilities compared to more advanced GIS software (like ArcGIS). There are also limitations on large datasets and complex geospatial modeling.
In fact, the resolution of satellite imagery greatly differs between portions of the world. This can be a limitation for users who need precise and updated data.
