Google Earth Enterprise - Google Earth Fusion

Google Earth Fusion integrates your geospatial data into the Google Earth Enterprise system - raster (imagery and terrain), vector, KML, 3D models and even data stored in traditional databases. Once data has been integrated and styled, it is delivered to the client software using Google Earth Server. Datasets can be selected and optimized using a friendly GUI. A command line interface is available for power users, complex integrations and automation. Google Earth Fusion can be configured to update data so that your Google Earth Enterprise system is synchronized to the latest available datasets.

  • Supports imagery, terrain, polygons, points, lines, KML, regionated KML overlays, and 3D models
  • Supports distributed data processing across multiple CPUs and machines
  • Easy-to-use GUI or scriptable interface to automate data ingestion and database completion
  • Project metaphor – create projects for different collections of data and use these projects to build multiple 3D globes or 2D browser-based maps
  • Auto-ingest – scriptable engine to automatically sync with changing datastores
  • Built-in projection handling
  • Virtual mosaicking capability
  • Rich styling support in GUI to create themes in vector data
