Transform any place with Nano Banana in Google Earth

Have you ever looked at an empty lot in your neighborhood and imagined a community garden, or wondered what your city looked like a century ago? Now Nano Banana 2’s image generation capabilities in Google Earth can show you both — and so much more.

For the first time, you can generate custom images using Google Earth’s satellite, aerial, and 3D imagery alongside Nano Banana, which creates concepts grounded in the real world. Just zoom in to a place in Google Earth on web, tap “create image,” and type whatever you want to see.

Here are five ways to try it.

1. Bring history to life.

Help students visualize the past instead of just reading about it. Teachers can show their classroom a historic site and type, “Render a hyper-realistic view of what these Pompeii ruins looked like in 78 A.D.” The modern-day ruins will instantly transform into a bustling, colorful street scene from the Roman Empire.

2. Learn more while you explore.

Create custom infographics to learn about a place without leaving Google Earth. Type, “Create an easy to understand infographic of the Statue of Liberty with key historical facts.” Behind the scenes, Gemini will retrieve relevant historical information and Nano Banana will create a graphic in seconds.

3. Create professional real estate plans.

Pitching a real estate project is much easier when your clients can visualize the final result. Architects and urban planners can now bring their plans to life by saying, "Reimagine this empty lot in Tokyo as a vibrant shopping and retail district with open spaces.” Barren concrete will be replaced by a high-quality 3D rendering of a bright urban oasis, helping your clients see what’s possible.

4. Visualize projects before breaking ground.

Whether you're dreaming up a new backyard studio or your lakeside dream home, it can be hard to picture the final result. Now, you can visualize it quickly. Zoom in to an open lot and say, "Add a modern lakefront cabin built from sustainably sourced local materials” to see a photorealistic rendering of your future house nestled perfectly in the actual landscape.

5. Give your favorite place a makeover.

Sometimes it’s fun to let your imagination run wild. To see what a place might look like a hundred years from now, type “Transform the Google Mountain View campus into a futuristic sci-fi utopia with glowing walkways, glass biodomes, flying transport pods, and trees wrapped around buildings,” and watch the area morph into a vibrant, cyberpunk-inspired metropolis right out of a movie.
