Google Maps Engine
Choice between:
- Google Maps Engine in the cloud.
- Google Earth Enterprise behind the firewall.
With Google Maps Engine, organizations can upload
and manage data from departments and create
custom layers, then share these maps to view on
Google Earth and Google Maps.
Not focused across departments but more on developing single point solutions.
Google Maps Engine doesn't connect directly with BI,
CRM, or ERP systems; Office; or SharePoint
- The Google Maps Engine mobility story is almost 100 percent about being connected.
- There is no capability within Google Earth Portable to make edits in the field or synchronize changes back to the enterprise.
The cartographic/symbolization options within Google Earth Enterprise are very limited. Also, there is no way to import externally created symbology, for example, through LYR files or Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC), Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD).
Google Earth Enterprise components run only on the
Linux operating system.
