Google Earth is now available for Mac!

My iMac G4 1 GHz with 512 MB RAM is the lowest possible HW: image is good but very slow.
 
run quite smoothly on mine, although i'm still using the leaked Beta.

Google earth requires 32mb graphics hardware.

i like this:

note strategic importance ¬_¬.

i can spot 2 aircraft carriers, 3 heavy war-ships and at least 6 destroers. portsmouth, UK.

and just for those without high res photos of their house, here's some high-res rocks in the sahara deserts, to put some perspective of it.

Just goes to show you exactly which continents/cities are being photographed by satellite more than others.
Hmmm...
 
Well since PowerLogix posted its update to CPU Director I was able to upgrade to 10.4.4 and Google Earth works for me now! Goo-goo hoo-hoo! Wheee... okay I'm getting dizzy now...
 
Thoroughly impressed.

Glad to see it's not a crappy hack port type app. It runs like glass on my G5 and I haven't found any weird things or bugs yet.

Super cool app.

Well, other than the fact that the leaked version wouldn't run at all on my machine (claimed it didn't meet the hardware requirements), and the new version runs complaint-free and perfectly. ;)
 
All you have to do is type "Area 51" in the search box and it takes you right to it. I drove past it this past summer when I went to Rachel, NV to visit the Little A'le' Inn.
 
The one difference is that the fonts are better looking... They also changed some of the camera-view buttons.... overall, it looks more Mac-like now... a welcome change.
