Google Earth is receiving an update this week that brings Nano Banana 2 into its AI portfolio. Users can zoom in on a place and click "create image" to prompt Nano Banana 2 to generate an infographic with Gemini or a rendering of an empty plot.

The recent AI upgrade previously helped researchers predict disasters and weather patterns, but now the focus shifts to creative visualizations. Google Earth users can imagine historic scenes, such as a hyper‑realistic render of a city centuries ago, or transform a landmark into a futuristic sci‑fi utopia with glowing walkways.

For companies and individuals, Nano Banana 2 can assist in creating estate plans using empty lots, visualizing backyard projects, or previewing a home secluded near a lakefront. The model also generates infographics about specific cities directly in the app. It can also help users plan travel itineraries by visualizing nearby attractions and terrain.

To start, open Google Earth on a computer, zoom to a location, hit "create image," and type the prompt. This AI‑driven feature extends Gemini’s design capabilities to larger, real‑world planning tasks. The update also supports deeper insights for researchers studying weather, sandstorm predictions, and clean drinking water conditions.
