You can fly to your favorite place, search for businesses and even navigate through directions."

Troubleshooting
Google Earth crashes at startup
Make sure you have installed one of the required optional dependencies for 3D acceleration.
You may also try disabling Startup-Tips with enableTips=false in ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf:
$ sed -i "s|enableTips=.*|enableTips=false|" ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
To prevent a crash with -dri drivers you may need to add a new line to ~/.drirc with:
$ echo >> ~/.drirc
