State & Local Government

Google Earth Industries : State & Local Government

Google Earth is the "ROI savior" for state and local
governments across the country. By enabling government staff to do their jobs
faster, and make better decisions, Google Earth is helping government agencies
meet their goals on time and under budget.

Like many key members of government organizations, you have
probably heard this complaint, "If only every department could access our GIS
data more easily, we could get our jobs done much faster." Or perhaps you've
heard, "We have so much data, we don't know what to distribute to our users, and
our users don't know what to ask for." The Google Earth solution is simple—let
all users access all meaningful data. Create a comprehensive view of the earth,
and let the user fly where they want, when they want, from their own desktop.
