Such as? Flight simulator? I don't use google-earth, so I'm curious. For example, these are Mapton's features:

    Bookmark support
    Image export
    Open location in external programs*
    Copy location to various formats*

    Chart rendering
    Time aware
    Measuring tool**
    Different map providers*
        Google Maps
        NASA WorldWind
        Open Street Map
        OpenLayers
    Different map styles*
        Many included
    Different search engines*
        Bookmarks
        GeoNames
        Google Maps
        Nominatim (by OSM)
    Light and dark themes

These are Gnome-maps':

Browse OpenStreetMap using libchamplain.
Find places with Nominatim service.
Route planning with GraphHopper service.
Find your location with GeoClue service.
Basic editing of OpenStreetMap data: add and edit POIs.


These are Marble's:
Actually, they're too many to list here, so take a look for yourself https://marble.kde.org/features.php


Could the computer be 32 bit, the link I showed just gave 64 bit installs.
https://www.google.com/earth/versions/#download-pro
The Google News homepage in Firefox and Chrome has a nine dot menu in the top right corner that includes Google search, maps, photos, youtube, gmail, and a whole bunch more including Google Earth.
Not sure if it would work on a 32 bit machine and it is slow on my old 64 bit machine.


I require features such as Street View, the ability to view old satellite images, and saving and labeling images.  In other words, Google Earth.
Perhaps posting the output of the below, may give folks an idea if something specific with the hardware??

In terminal...
Code:
inxi -Fxz

All of those apps I mentioned can do that too.
I gave up weeks ago.

Here ends this thread.  Really.  You may close this thread now.
