Will Collect Earth continue to work once Google Earth Desktop is no longer available? Are there any plans to ensure its functionality after Google Earth Desktop is discontinued?
Accepted answer
Collect Earth is already being adapted to be used through the interface of Google Earth Web, we expect the first Google Earth Web version of Collect Earth to be ready for testing at the start of November.
Google Earth Web will help us to make the use of Collect Earth even simpler as the user will not need to install the desktop version (Google Earth Pro). However, for those users wishing to keep using the classic version they will be able to do so.
We will keep you informed when the next version comes out. You will also get notified by Collect Earth at startup if a new version is available. It is always recommended you update Collect Earth to the latest version.
Here a sneak peak of what the next version will be like. Other major improvements will include the possibility to use a centralized server under your own supervision or in a shared server as well as to add survey creation directly within Collect Earth eliminating the need to install Collect for the survey designer. Let us know if you have other requests!
