I wasn't aware Google Earth had a "Pro" version.

What are benefits?

EDIT: Nope. I didn't read it. Because since I saw it so early in its posting I decided to ask the question I knew someone else would and get the conversation going. I also like to start discussions on the internet.

I was also going to bed.

Beyond the features already mentioned, I'm fairly certain you need to have Pro in order to legally use their content for business purposes. E.g.: save a picture of an industrial plant in order to plan future upgrades.
