Google has integrated its Nano Banana 2 generative AI model into Google Earth on the web, allowing users to create and alter images of real-world locations. The new "Create Image" feature uses Google Earth's satellite and 3D data as a foundation for user prompts, enabling the visualization of architectural concepts, historical scenes, or creative alterations of any location on the map.
The feature is being marketed as a tool for both creative exploration and practical visualization, such as picturing redesigned public spaces, generating historical infographics of landmarks, or mocking up potential real estate projects. The tool is available globally for Google Earth on the web, though there are daily limits on the number of images a user can generate.
