Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on the search results, Google Earth Pro currently does not have a native Apple Silicon version and still requires Rosetta 2 to run on M1, M2, and M3 Macs. Multiple users have requested native ARM64 support from Google, but as of the latest information available, Google has not released an Apple Silicon-optimized version. The application does run successfully on Apple Silicon Macs through Rosetta 2 translation, though this may result in reduced performance and battery life compared to a native version. Users should continue using the current Intel version through Rosetta 2 while monitoring Google's Earth community forums for potential native Apple Silicon updates.
