Google Earth iPhone App is a good complement to its desktop counterpart, but with a few neat additions. Like on the desktop version, you can search for an address and view it from far away or as close as almost street level, seeing an overhead shot of the location as if you were a few feet above the building.

for me earthscape is much better, intutive, stable, gearth crashes and is boring…their desktop is much better. also it’s nice to have someone else in the game beside the google monopoly..

For me earthscape wins becauseit is available worldwide.. google earth sucks coz it limits itselft to only 22 countries.

Google map rotating map is a plus. The tilting “3D” perspective is more of a gimmick though. Earthscape photos seem more of a distractions. Reading about different city info is interesting and educational. My 2 cents.

Google Earth wins hands down. Earthscape is definitely a great app in it’s own right though. I can just see myself using Google Earth’s one button locate. I also like how you can actually control and manipulate the Earth at will. The GUI on Google Earth is simply breath-taking.

both apps crash way too much. But the ui for google earth is far more intuitive. Also it runs much more smoothly than earthscape

GEarth is an extremely powerful app on a mobile device. It works well, though does crash from time to time. When we have the opportunity to have this much information at the tip of our fingers, anywhere, we should stop and realize it is amazing. I bet Google can’t even get it to work on Android!

I agree Google Earth is better, bu it has its problems too. For example, its accelerometer is too sensitive.
