I discovered the software through macZOT! I tried it and I was seduced by the idea so I bought it (for $9 thanks to macZOT!). A quick purchase that I partly regret now.
You can place on a globe your pictures (imported from iPhoto albums or off the disk) and Flickr pics albums to present them in an original fashion. Placing and manipulation is intuitive and you achieve quick results. The Google Maps integration fails quite often (the so called Loupe often freezes or just doesn't display the Google Maps overlay properly). The quality of maps used for the globe is also far from that of Google Earth but the use of Google Maps diminishes the importance of that problem. YTou can also find locations using an online database, quite complete (with hotels, points of interest, cities, regions and so on).
The loading of the app is quite slow but with 1000s of pics to reload from iPhoto albums I deem it's normal. A few details needs to be taken into revision: loading of the most recently edited album rather than a blank one, direct edition of the localization of pictures are of those. I emailed the team about it a few days ago, I will see if I get any reply.
In the end, give the soft a try, it's amusing and will change you of the plain iPhoto interface to show pictures of your holidays and trips. Maybe you won't even resent the same flaws as I did. In any case I will keep using that soft for a while and hope for future improvements.
