Support land management decisions from every angle. 🌍 https://t.co/ViWW1RsT7u

Conservation requires more than just a list of species — it requires a view of the entire ecosystem and its health. Now, you can import your own shapefiles directly into Google Earth to see how information like water quality, biodiversity, habitats, wildlife corridors, and protected lands intersect.

Visualize the ecosystem condition of your project sites in 3D and turn complex data into a story that moves stakeholders to action.

Project proposals without inspiring visuals can fail to align stakeholders on a shared vision. Bring your 3D models to life on Google Earth to secure buy-in faster. https://t.co/LaXqkYlCVQ

You can now upload, orient, and share custom 3D models to see proposed designs and investments in their real-world context. This allows every stakeholder to operate from a single source of truth, reducing the risk of misalignment before resources are committed. Use Google Earth as an interactive stage for your next pitch or exploration and bring your designs to life.

Terrain impacts nearly every project. Luckily, Google Earth’s measure tool just got a major upgrade. Introducing elevation profiles. https://t.co/strPGePtP1

Simply draw a line, as you always have, to instantly generate a detailed and interactive elevation profile in the inspector panel. Whether you are tackling complex route and transportation planning, conducting viewshed analysis, or mapping out logistics for heavy machinery, you can now instantly contextualize terrain dips and peaks directly on the map.

Shapefiles have officially landed on Earth. https://t.co/bqJwgFbdmk

By simply uploading a .zip file, you can render features and attributes as flexible, cloud-native data layers. This is the ultimate silo-breaker for professionals who need to combine local zoning data, property boundaries, and more to get a complete geospatial picture.
Add your first Shapefile to Google Earth now.

[Google Earth @googleearth]

Aligning stakeholders on a shared vision is hard enough. Relying on flat 2D images, out of context renderings, or spending hours and hours on mock-ups makes it even harder. Google Earth is now an interactive stage for your 3D models. https://t.co/CWfTOOvzOa

We have introduced GLB file support so you can effortlessly upload and orient your 3D models directly on the globe. Seeing your vision in its real-world context helps you gain buy-in, mitigate risk before resources are committed, and move faster as a team.
Import your first 3D model to Google Earth today.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Shapefile and 3D model import support on Google Earth. Plus, we’ve also added elevation profiles to the measure tool just for… good measure! https://t.co/vpIJA3HCv4

You’ve made it clear. You want to be able to bring more of your data and models to Google Earth’s real-world canvas. We're excited to take the next step in delivering on that promise with these new features:

🔶 Shapefiles (SHP): Render industry-standard geospatial data as performant, cloud-native layers.
💡 3D Models (GLB): Place custom architectural mock-ups, massings, and more in a visually rich context.
🗻 Elevation Profiles: View detailed terrain data in the measure tool you already know and love.

These new features are live now on Google Earth!
