"Gemini capabilities in Google Earth" refers to Google Earth's conversational chat service. You can ask questions, get responses, highlight results on the map and perform spatial queries using natural language.
How your data is used
When you use Gemini capabilities in Google Earth, Google collects information about your activity, including your queries, related product usage information and your feedback ("your Data"). Google uses your Data, consistent with our Privacy Policy, for debugging purposes and to provide, improve, and develop Google Earth.
How human reviewers improve Gemini capabilities in Google Earth
Human reviewers read, annotate, and process your Gemini capabilities in Google Earth queries and feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google Earth. We take steps to protect your privacy as part of this process. This includes disconnecting your conversations with Gemini in Google Earth from your Google Account before reviewers see or annotate them.
Things to know
- Gemini capabilities in Google Earth is a new technology. It is continuously evolving and may sometimes give inaccurate, offensive, or inappropriate information that doesn't represent Google's views.
- Don't rely on responses from Gemini capabilities in Google Earth as medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
What you can do
This early version is designed to support professionals in industries such as
urban planning, transportation, construction, real estate, clean energy
development and more. It helps you explore spatial patterns and opportunities
using rich location data from Google.
Here are a few key capabilities:
- Brainstorm with Gemini capabilities: Ask natural-language questions that
tie into spatial features or known locations - whether you're planning a
site visit or need contextual insight.
- Example: "Plot all Formula 1 tracks globally and provide a table with the distance to their nearest airports."
- Find location opportunities Identify potential sites for new development
or public assets by assessing proximity to landmarks, amenities,
infrastructure, and transportation hubs.
- Example: "Show me parcels greater than 200 acres within 1 mile of the Denver airport."
- Optimize placement of assets Spot areas underserved by critical
infrastructure or services.
- Example: "Plot zip codes in Richmond VA with no EV chargers"
- Query within your geometry Draw a shape and ask: What's inside? The
model can return places, infrastructure points, or boundaries within any
polygon you define.
- Example: "Show me all restaurants, parks, and bus stops inside this polygon."
- Perform basic GIS operations Filter data, calculate distances, and group
or count features.
- Example: "Count all EV chargers inside these selected polygons. Create a table with a count per polygon"
Data you can ask about
Ask Google Earth can help you create and analyze new and existing geospatial datasets. You can submit prompts based on spatial relationships and criteria, or within the context of your project features or viewport.
To get started, try one of the following categories of prompts:
Limitations and restrictions
The following are limitations and restrictions of Gemini capabilities in Google Earth:
- This is an early implementation of Gemini capabilities in Google Earth. As such, various bugs, reliability issues, and unexpected behaviors are likely. You may get different responses to the same prompt, and you may need to try multiple prompts to get closer to your intended results. Reviewing this document will help you understand known issues and provide guidance on how to make the most of this prototype.
- This Experimental phase of Gemini capabilities in Google Earth, along with its data sources, is available in English only for projects in the United States.
- When referencing features by their name, you must reference their title. For
example, if you create a polygon named "Test polygon":
- "Show all traffic lights in the test polygon" may not be supported.
- "Show all traffic lights in the polygon titled 'Test polygon'" is supported.
- The prototype is focused on geospatial analysis. Gemini capabilities in Google Earth may not answer prompts beyond this scope.
- Each query can retrieve a maximum of 500 features (for example, 500 placemarks) and may not provide a comprehensive dataset.
- During this Experimental phase, data queried from Gemini capabilities in Google Earth cannot be exported from Google Earth.
- Some results may take longer to load. Prompts will time out after 5 minutes, at which point you may need to re-enter or modify the prompt.
