Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

This version returns Google Earth to the data load speeds of the earlier versions of the application. Zooming, panning, rotation, everything, is just about "smooth as silk" on my machine. The new interface element design is nice but work essentially the same. Definitely a worthwhile improvement

Tilt is screwy - BKMaggert

Everything seems better, but one thing. Tilt control for viewing terrain is gone. It took me a while to find the new method and it sucks. Right click while dragging is some form of "control" but severely constrained in movement compared to the old way. Not very functional at present.
