Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer).
I tried to install this after uninstalling the trial version of the full version, and after installation. It was all greyed out for me. It's a glitch maybe?
This version is just an advertisement for the pro version, the images are blurred and cannot be used accurately.
Thank you for your feedback, Daniel! We're glad you found Plex-Earth Lite helpful. We're working on making it compatible with AutoCAD 2025, along with some exciting improvements and enhancements. In the meantime, if you need immediate support for AutoCAD 2025, the full version of Plex-Earth already offers full compatibility. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Stay tuned for updates!
:| maybe for Autocad 2027
Hi again Daniel! Just a quick update with some good news: Plex-Earth now fully supports AutoCAD 2026 and will not have to wait 2027. Thank you again for your patience and sense of humor. We truly appreciate both, and we hope you enjoy PE Lite :-)
Hi Daniel, sorry to hear that. Lite offers full-resolution imagery (no blur or watermarks) and is fully usable for georeferencing and more. If it looks blurry, it’s usually because you tried to cover a large area. As for Pro, you can start a 7-day free trial anytime through “My Account” and use it on real projects, with no commitment. That said, we don’t show ads, and we’ve put real effort into designing a Lite-specific interface without promotional content. Did something feel limiting or get in your way? We’d love to help. Our support team is here for you.
very very gooood for me
thank you
Does the lite version only last 7 days?Thank you for reaching out, Jorge. I'm happy to inform you that the lite version of our software is not just a 7-day trial. It lasts a full year and is automatically renewed at no extra cost. This way, you can continue enjoying the lite version's benefits without interruptions or additional charges. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please get in touch with us.

I have been using this tool (pro version) for 5 years, recently switched to the lite version as all I need to do now is to import kml files. Works seemlessly and all I need to import kml, (georeferenced) images, etc.
You can now have satelite background to your autocad drawings.
Great App, Great Support team!
Hello, thank´s for this, i will install in the new Autocad.
The little bit I have used Plex Earth Lite was a pleasure, this program is really going to enhance my productivity and my AutoCAD drawings will be much more professional.
It is also easier to be able to accurately do my aviation drawings in AutoCAD and Google earth.
An excellent product.
Many thanks Lambros
