It doesn't do a good job of using the available UI on the Mac at least…
• No pinch-zoom or rotate.
• The two finger panning motions don't work, the vertical portion having been repurposed as zoom.
…but the animation seems smoother and the more prominent date display at the bottom of the view should lead more people to the historical imagery.
The transition to street view is brilliantly done! Moving around in street view is, um, trippy. (Two-finger scroll forward and backward works here, lose all relation to reality if you turn your head with the keyboard. Rotate gestures do not work.)
Pretty spectral artifact at the Missouri Botanical Garden on the north side of the climatron for the current imagery.
Agreed. It also slowed down my entire system to the point where I had to Force Quit it... and even then, it took a good 30-40 seconds before the system got responsive again... I kinda feel like Google Earth is less and less relevant and mostly always revert to using Google Maps instead...
