On March 20, 2015, Google deprecated Google Earth Enterprise (GEE), which had contributed greatly to the market for geospatial “Digital Earth” products for large organizations, and announced that it would stop supporting it on March 22, 2017. The company had previously announced that it would discontinue support for the Google Earth API and the Google Maps Engine, while it continued to support and promote Google Earth Engine. GEE allows organizations to store and process terabytes of imagery, terrain, and vector data on their own servers, and publish maps securely for their users to view using Google Earth desktop or mobile apps, or through their own applications using the Google Maps API.
