    Having problems logging to the Earth servers. Not sure if it’s the program’s fault, or my network firewall. Anyone else have this issue?

  5. Glad to see Google are finally moving apps to the Mac platform!

    Congratulations.. just don’t merge my account with Yahoo! like Flickr was forced to do!

    It works great. It’s important to say, however, that it only works with Tiger, because it requires that level of CoreImage.

  10. milatchi

    Finally, Google gets something to the Mac.

  11. This link is bullshit

  12. i tried google eath for pc
    it was fabulous i hope the mac version will be great

  13. jack

    Says Dave “this link is BS’

    care to qualify that statement, birdbrain?

  14. Ken

    The reason alot of googles stuff is windows only at first is because they’re bought from other companies who only devloped for windows, so like gooogle earth, they have to port it, and it takes time…

    Google Earth for OS X has a horrible UI BTW!

  15. pyonjet

    Great. I have been looking forward to the Mac Version of Google Earth. Glad to see its here. And I bet a lot of other Mac users will be to.

    Downloaded successfully and got it working in about 30 seconds. Very cool.

    The link seems to be broken. However, this one works http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=01H260IZ43WTZ3OTEBSWPXG48L

  36. dudemicro

    finally! What a scoop. It’s neat and seems fully functional, but it sure runs like shit on my single Power Mac G5 1.8/1.5GB/nVidia Geforce 5200 - an admittedly modest machine. Either it’s a rocky early beta or it’s a good demo of the awesome superiority of the Intel platform’s raw processing and video power. Don’t worry, the new Macs oughtta be bulking up soon :)

  37. 2look4

    funny message comes up when starting up google earth on my g4 dual 450: minimum requierement pentium III with 500 mhz, but it works fine so far

  41. patb

    Just have an old 667Mhz PowerBookG4 with an ISDN line and it works fine. Not instant, but usable.

  45. getaclue

    The link works fine.
    - Click on the link.
    - On first page, scroll down and hit Free.
    - On the next page, scroll down and watch the countdown timer run until it is finished, then the screen is refreshed and displays three graphic characters that must be typed into in inputbox, then press the download button.
    - Very simple, I don’t see why Dave (#15) is complaining. Worked fine for me.

  46. Skippy

    Works GREAT on my G5 1.8 DP, even with it’s stock paltry 9600 card w/only 64 MB of RAM.

  47. #65 - requires 128MB of RAM, not video ram, works on my old powerbok :))

    Google Earth pro MacOS X

    Velice brzo po první zpráv? o Goole Earth si n?jaká velice mystická osoba (pravd?podobn? touto dobou už nezam?stnaná u Google) vyp?j?ila betaverzi Google Earth pro MacOS X. Stánout si jí m?žete zde na rapidshare.

    Aplikace má pouze 32×32 ikonku, což ukazuje na velice ranné stádium betatestování. Kompilovaná je zatím pouze pro PowerPC.

    Jako první adresa na hledání m? napadla Infinite Loop, zadal sem ji tedy a potešila m? tato hláška s klasickým windowsím vyk?i?níkem.

    A p?i spuÅ¡t?ní jsem dostal vynadáno že nemám alespo? Pentium III. Tak m?žu alepo? použít “klí?ovou dírku”.

    Doesn’t work on my Powerbook G4 1GHz running 10.3.9

  49. Dan

    I think 10.4 is a requirement

  50. popeye

    Yup must be, need 10.4 now…

  51. phil

    I run 10.3.9…….nothing for me or us. Why couldn’t they say “tiger only”…makes too much logical sense
    I guess

  66. Rod

    Wow - thanks for this link. Works beautifully on my 1.67 GHz 512MB G5. Remember everyone, you don’t need to subscribe to Rapidshare - just scroll down and press the FREE button, then follow instructions. No problems.

  67. hany

    very good

  68. jackmac

    Downloaded easily and opened right up on my G5 dual processor running Tiger (10.4.3). Excellent!!

    download not possible

  73. David Carraher

    An amazing piece of software. Truly mind-blowing. Bookmarks are great. So is the fly-to feature: very realistic. And I love the possibility of people inserting info-notes (although there needs to be a way of filtering out stuff-there are already way too many notes in Paris. And some notes are wrong or fairly useless).

  74. The Barron

    Awesome! BUT. how do you get the picture to sharpen up and really focus when zoomed to areas not listed on the Google Earth site e.g. addresses, etc.? Thanks! The B

  75. anton

    cool stuff

  76. Emidio

    Alguem que realmente saiba o que escreve poderia me passar o link certo para Download do Google Earth for MacOS X

  77. ben

    So this versions only for 10.4 , eh. Is there anyway to upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4 without buying it?

  78. Dr. Miguel

    Incredible!!

  79. losof

    huh, this looks like an early try-out, a proof of concept build. i don’t think much - if any - work has been spent to make it ‘os x’ like (why on earth (ha, pun!) should there be an option to use direct x on os x ?!). and it’s not even an evidence that google earth for os x is coming. although the buzz generated by it could bring google into the situation where it developes such a thing.

  85. Larry Winward

    Fantastic! Very stable, fast, and smooth! It seems more than just a beta version.

    I am using a Power Mac G5 dual 2.7GHz.

    Follow the links, at least one or two have already explained it. There is NO direct link.

  86. Chung-Yu, Chen

    Very Cool program with cool function

  87. faddah

    the link you had up, http://rapidshare.de/files/8860896/Google_Earth.zip.html, no longer works, apparently as of yesterday. apparently, someone took your disclaimer advisemnt that you put at the end of the original article and contacted rapidshare.de and asked for it to be removed. any other place this file can be found?

  88. Wow,thet is great now i can see my homeland!!! Ihope i can download the google earth Irealy do…HH what is funny thet i sercht for like 2 hours for this program.It hase cool efects and goodfunction to.And thenk you.

    HAHAHAHAHA TOO SLOW. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

  98. G4M

    no links working. can s/one post new?

  99. Tim

    I was lucky finding the right time to download from rapidshare before link was removed. I’ll see if I might find a mirror place for others not being lucky out there. The beta works perfect. I don’t see difference to windows version. For the meantime: It can be found via P2P for sure. ;-)

  100. Tony

    can somebody who has downloaded it from Rapidshare.de
    please repost it there so the rest of use mere mortals
    can get a chance to see it ?

    I was wondering if someone else is hosting the file - I downloaded it at work on my PowerMac G5 but I want to get it for my PowerBook G4 and the link has been removed because of complaints (I am guessing from Google, not sure exactly why, they ususally open up Betas to everyone). So if someone has an updated link please post it and I will check back to get it. Thanks!

  144. MacOSXman

    yup, google earth only works with the mac computer that has the program “TIGER” installed into it. Thats what happened to mine also! Arggggg. Btw, one comment, you shouldnt post files that are related to torrents.

  145. cursor

    Works fine for me running 10.4.3. It does bounce in the dock for quite a while before launching. I have a G4 iBook with 256MB of RAM, so I was surprised it worked. A bit buggy, but I was expecting that.

  146. scott

    ya my dad has that too,i guess ill half to go on his.

  153. “yup, google earth only works with the mac computer that has the program “TIGERâ€Â? installed into it. Thats what happened to mine also! Arggggg. Btw, one comment, you shouldnt post files that are related to torrents.”

    Really, are you guys stupid or what? “The progream ‘TIGER’”? “TIGER” is the newest Mac OS X version, it’s an operating system not a program. Ugh….too many stupid people on the internet. I don’t see how this file relates to torrents, but why shouldn’t he post files related to torrents anyway? What’s wrong with torrents? They are just another way of downloading files.

    “huh, this looks like an early try-out, a proof of concept build. i don’t think much - if any - work has been spent to make it ‘os x’ like (why on earth (ha, pun!) should there be an option to use direct x on os x ?!). and it’s not even an evidence that google earth for os x is coming. although the buzz generated by it could bring google into the situation where it developes such a thing.”

    This program is as “OS X like” as it can be. It has been completely rewritten to OS X (it has to be…X is Unix-based while Windows is completely different). This obviously means there will be a final version for OS X sometime soon.

    “So this versions only for 10.4 , eh. Is there anyway to upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4 without buying it?”

    Ummm….NO. You could get a pirated version if you were smart enough, but considering you are asking such a dumb question in the first place I would assume you don’t know how.

    I swear, people just get dumber and dumber every day…

  157. jared

    Bob Squared whoever he is, is an idiot. If you want google earth for mac, go to http://www.torrentz.com search google earth for mac, click on the file that sais google earth for mac osx and then click the link that it sais to download on. Then go to versiontracker.com and download bittorent, if you do not already have it. Then Drag the torrent that you downloaded off of torrentz.com and drag it to bit torrent and press start (it might start automaticly). Download time varies depending on what time you download it at and how many people have the file already. Mine finished downloading within 10 minutes. For me it works fine on my powerbook g4 1.67 ghz procceser with 1 gb of sdram and 128 mbs of video ram but is a little slow getting to your destination. But it does work quite nicely for me even without an internet connection. I am so glad that they finally made it.

    I was lucky enough to get GoogleEarth Mac when it was first posted. It works fine on my iMac G4 1 GHz. However, I have tried to send the zipped Google Earth file to a friend via YouSendIt and it will not allow the download. It seems to upload the file fine from me, though. Has Google somehow succeeded in blocking YouSendIt?

  204. Hi All Experts,
    Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…

    Before searching and finding this blog today and after downloading GoogleEarth (last week) on my Mac iBook 10.3.9 it took me a few hours wondering why I couldn’t get it to work. It took me almost 30 minutes of reading this blogg to finally find out I need Mac 10.4 operating system.

    It downloaded and works like a charm on my PC desktop with Windows XP operating system.

    Thanks for all the input:)
