How many of you use Google Earth? Ok, now how many of you have dropped $400 for Google Earth Pro? Pretty much nobody in both cases, which is probably why Google has decided to drop the price tag for Earth Pro and just include all of the “bonus features” in the free version.

If you like spending your lazy weekends zooming around the Earth and looking up all sorts of places that you’ve been to, want to go to, or never think you’ll ever be able to go to, then Google is going to give you a hand. And if you already purchased Google Earth Pro at some point previously, we feel bad to be the bearers of the news that Google has now made said product completely free. Yes, Google has slapped a $400 discount on Google Earth Pro—presumably because not enough people were ponying up that much to make the revenue all that worth it versus the goodwill Google can receive for the gesture.
