  • 🗺️ Transform raw pixels into powerful insights for urban planning with Gemini 3.1 ➡️ https://goo.gle/3QB8KzZ Discover how this foundation model is fundamentally shifting the paradigm for geospatial image understanding and analysis with: ✨ Few-shot visual discovery 📍 Native spatial awareness 🔬 Pixel-level mathematical reasoning Combine geospatial imagery with the multimodal reasoning, bounding box extraction, and code execution capabilities of frontier models and enter a new era of spatial analysis.

    • A highway scene with cars and overhead signs is overlaid with cyan and green bounding boxes from an object detection system. The boxes label elements such as "Street Lamp," "Utility Pole," "Tree," and "Sign" with decimal confidence scores, while a white sign on the left reads "SPEED LIMIT 95." This illustrates a computer vision system identifying roadside infrastructure and traffic signs in a real-world driving environment.
  • Conducting road safety audits, scheduling maintenance, or planning logistics routes used to require combing through imagery or, worse, driving miles of roads yourself. Not anymore. https://goo.gle/4e3bYW4 New AI-powered data layers in Google Earth are changing that. Pulling from billions of Google Street View images, these layers now spot infrastructure assets like stop signs, speed limit signs, and more to map infrastructure for you. By combining these assets into a single project and diving into Street View you can locate and validate assets on Google Earth in seconds. These layers are now available for Professional & Professional Advanced customers on web and Android, with coverage expanding over the coming weeks.

  • Ready to try building geospatial prototypes? 🤖🗺️ It's easier than ever with the Maps Demo Key: https://goo.gle/3PV5VJT We’ve expanded the Maps Demo Key to give you free access to even more features. Whether you are a "vibecoder" using AI agents or a developer validating a new use case, you can now prototype in a safe, sandboxed environment with zero financial risk. What's new: 📍 Autocomplete & Geocoding for precision input 🔍 Nearby Search & Text Search for discovery 🛣️ Compute Routes for seamless journeys 🏪 Place details text for rich place data You can use all the above and Maps Grounding Lite, Places UI Kit, Weather, and more with the API key.

  • Acquiring foundational site details usually means traveling to sites, finding utility access points, and tracking down disparate data sources. Google Earth is changing the way professionals work ➡️ https://goo.gle/3Qkk0k6 New AI-powered data layers in Google Earth pull from billions of Google Street View images to map infrastructure assets like fire hydrants, storm drains, and more. Plus, when combined with new building footprints and land parcels you have powerful, time-saving data a click away. Inspecting utility access and site constraints from anywhere is now even easier with Google Earth. These layers are now available for Professional & Professional Advanced customers on web and Android, with coverage expanding over the coming weeks.
