Now to discover the benefits over the non-pro version....

and the benefits over using Google Maps :-)

I find Google Earth (plain or pro) runs without a browser running.

I only have a stand alone version.

I
just tested it by loading Google Earth and ending all the browser
processes. Google Earth is still up! Google Maps seems to need a
browser running.

but Google Maps is much faster.

and doesn't insist on being supplied with irrelevant personal information before
you can use it.

Why is that important?

Why should you provide Google with personal information?

Stats most likely. Why does it bother you? By all means withhold your credit card number, but your name and where you live, what's the problem?

Any way it was a waste
of time because Google overloaded. It told me to try again later

That's a first, I've never known Google underestimate server power.
