First impressions. Having been a very happy user of Google Earth VR for a while now I have only recently become aware of standalone apps using Google imagery that don't require a fairly high end PC to operate. I first tried Earthquest, which is slightly awkward to get running and needs a Google account to obtain something called an API key. This app is my most recent acquisition in the same field. The main advantage of this one is that it works straight away, and that is a huge difference for anyone who isn't particularly tech savvy. Also the controls for flying around are better on this one. However, I have found the image quality on Earthquest to be significantly better as it has settings adjustment for these factors. Earthquest also has Google Street View integration, which this one doesn't have (at time of writing). Both apps are priced at £3.99, which is very reasonable considering I paid £1000 for the laptop I use for running Google Earth VR. The full Google offering is still very much King of this domain however, with far superior graphics quality, but both this app and Earthquest are very much worthwhile alternatives for constrained budgets.
