One thing I'm disappointed about... In the desktop version when you click and drag then let go, the camera will keep flying across the landscape without slowing down. Depending how fast you drag, it's possible to slowly and gracefully glide over the landscape in any direction you choose.
This is a cool feature that is no longer possible in this new "improved" Google Earth. The camera now comes to a dead stop.
I really hope they can add an option to bring back the "zero resistance" camera or whatever you call it. Or a flying camera mode or similar.
It means you can sit back and glide over a city slowly, just above the buildings or mountains without needing to interact. If you choose a nice slow speed, the approaching map data loads in time and you have yourself a nice aerial trip over the land.
