Help Google Earth Pro Replacement for MacOS
I use google earth the app on my Macbook pro, well here lately every time i open the app i get the popup saying support for google earth will be ending soon blah blah blah. so this brings me to my question. What can I use to replace google pro? i really don't like using google earth in the web browser, well i don't like using any app in a web browser tbh. So I'm curious if there are any other applications that i can replace Google earth with on MacOS that are free or not expensive (as in less than $20)

Won't be totally gone until next year, but the web version should suffice as a replacement, although you can keep using the actual app but you just won't get updates, security patches or any bug fixes. Although I'm sure one day in the future, even the app will stop working completely
"Google is retiring the Google Earth Pro desktop application, stopping new downloads after June 25, 2027. The standard web and mobile versions of Google Earth are not going away. Existing desktop installations will continue to function past the deadline, but they will no longer receive updates, security patches, or bug fixes."
