Google Earth Pro is the commercial paid version of the Google Earth.
* Open the shapefile with the Open command within Google Earth Pro. Be certain to change the file type to “ESRI Shapefile”.<br>
* When opened, you will receive a warning if your shapefile contains more than 2,500 items. You will still possess the ability to import the entire file, but it may take some time.<br>
* You will be asked whether you wish to apply a style template to the document. If you do so, you will be able to choose the attribute that contains the item name (for example, the address field or the street name field).<br>
Note: you don’t have to save the style template to select the name field.<br>
* Finally, right-click the layer added to the Temporary Places folder, and click “Save Place As.” Provide a location and file name for the file to be created.<br>
