On July 30, 2026, Google launched image generation powered by Nano Banana 2 inside Google Earth on the web, globally, letting users zoom to a location, tap "create image," and prompt for renderings grounded in Google Earth satellite, aerial and 3D imagery. Google suggested uses including historical reconstructions (for example Pompeii in 78 A.D.), Gemini-retrieved infographics, real estate and urban planning renderings of empty lots, and speculative makeovers of places. On July 31, one day later, Google added an update saying it was rolling the feature back in Google Earth while it implements stronger guardrails, after seeing screenshots of generated imagery that appeared to violate its policies. Google noted generated images did not appear in the main Google Earth experience for other users and were watermarked as AI generated.
