Mapping with Confidence: Integrate Google Earth Satellite Imagery into ArcGIS Pro

When working in ArcGIS Pro, one common challenge many GIS professionals face is the limitation of the default basemaps — they are not always up-to-date everywhere. This can create significant gaps, especially when working on dynamic projects like urban planning, disaster assessment, or land use studies where recent imagery is critical.
To solve this, I created a video demonstrating how to seamlessly bring Google Earth satellite images into ArcGIS Pro. 📈
👉 Why is this important?
Because Google Earth often provides more recent, higher-resolution, and detailed satellite images compared to ArcGIS Pro’s default basemaps.
Having access to these updated visuals ensures that your analyses are more accurate, current, and contextually relevant — which is vital for making informed decisions and delivering high-quality GIS projects.
🎯 Motivation behind this video:
I wanted to empower GIS users with an easy, practical method to enhance their mapping and analysis capabilities without being restricted by outdated basemap imagery. Adding Google Earth satellite images as reference layers can make a real difference — whether you’re digitizing new developments, analyzing land cover change, or responding to recent natural disasters.

I’ve explained the steps clearly so even beginners can apply it.
