Version: Google Earth 4
Pros: I find it to be the best freeware satelite program on the Internet as of yet. It is highly detailed in history markers, pointing out where certain things happened in certain areas in the world at certain times. And, if you don't want these types of features, you can turn them off. You can mark precise points on the earth, and then email them to another person with Google Earth, so that they can see this point on the earth for themselves (my dad and I do this all of the time. He was in the military, and all around the world, so he shows me the areas where he was by email).
Cons: Like others have said, some areas need updating, but the webmasters say they are working at it, and my area has suddenly come into clear view, and now I can zoom into my own house.

Version: Google Earth 4
"Most amazing program I have ever used!"
Pros: look anywhere you want in the entire world, easy interface, 3-D effects, and they are even working on going from gray box buildings to 3-D real-like buildings. Congrats google on a job well done!
Cons: They really need to update the maps more often, as many have said, and provide a higher zoom for certain areas

Version: Google Earth 4
Pros: For free software, this is amazing. It's fun to use, and you can perhaps get a good idea of the place using the maps. I found my house and my friend's houses.
The new controls are great, they become invisible after you don't use them for a certain period time, meaning you get more of a map without too much distraction.
Cons: I couldn't find any myself. Reading other reviews, they said that it had old dated maps, but not anywhere I've been so far.

Version: Google Earth 4
Pros: Easy to use, Small Filesize, runs smooth.
Cons: The only bad thing is that the photographs they use are getting out of date. It must be about 2003 or 2004 because where I live there is a car parked on the driveway which we no longer own! In some areas it seems like you can't zoom in so far, without the picture starting to become blurry.
