How much of Earth is actually covered with 3D data ?
How much of Earth is actually covered with 3D data ?
Almost every recognizable city on earth has 3d coverage - if Google has permission to 3D scan a city, that city will most likely be available in 3D.
otherwise, it may added in the very near future.
You can check the 3d areas on earth.google.com
I’m from Romania, I can tell you that, even if it’s a lesser known country, with many small cities (including the one I’m in) it turns out that almost every city in the whole country received 3D coverage in the past year!

API Related :
Does EarthQuest still use custom APIs ?
No ! - In order to keep everything user-friendly & intuitive, the Personal API in-app process has been REMOVED.
The Public API is free, 100% reliable and is flawlessly working 24/7.
Is it still possible to use an existing Personal API ?
Yes ! - Assigning your Personal API can be done by copying it to a locally stored file EarthQuest API Key.txt located at EQ's storage path.
Why would I want to use a Personal API ?
To host your own data for reliable, independent usage, without ANY risks of rare potential server issues. This mode will allow EarthQuest to run as expected no matter what.
Is the Personal API actually free ?
As of December 1st, 2024, the Personal API created using the quick setup will make use of the $200 free monthly credits worth of Google Maps services, which EarthQuest should never even come close exceeding.
After following the quick setup, a person or even more may NEVER be charged any amount of money from using a single Personal API in EarthQuest.
How would EarthQuest store the API Key ?
The API Key is stored in EarthQuest's storage app path as a text file, this allows for manually reading and writing.
Got any other question ?
Let me know !
