This GIS is a desktop-based standard business-oriented update to Google Earth which is basically more than just a computer program famously known for generating digital globe by primarily harnessing the data from satellite imagery. Keeping this in mind, it was made free for the public with additional software for movie making (e.g. to record virtual flight around the world), advanced printing (e.g. for high resolution images) and precise measurements (e.g. for measuring 3D buildings) by Google.
Pricing:
The software is available for free and widely preferred over Google Earth exclusively on desktops. It supports availability in various languages all over the world and currently available for Windows, Mac OS X 10.8 or later, and Linux with periodic updates when required.
