I did the manual update the minute it came out, and I downloaded google earth. Now that I've seen this thread, I looked to see if it was still there and it's not. But and can't be because of the method of installation because I would never had been able to get it.

I am not updated yet and i cant see google earth either so its not a Manual update problem. I think they pulled it to revamp it for 2.1
Ofcourse you can't see it, you're not supposed to until you have 2.1.
I don't see it in the Market from my Droid, but in App Brain it shows up. Strange though that I can add it to be downloaded, and when I sync App Brain with my droid, it says it can't find it. It does say that there was an update about 15 hours ago, so maybe the update screwed it up.
See i did the same thing, but i got it from when it was on the front page of downloads, not going into anything. I actually tried to search for it manually and it wouldn't come up. If you try to go to, m.google.com/earth it will take you to your marketplace, but it force closes mine everytime. So i'm not sure, it's definitely strange. How could it be the update method? How would your phone know if you got it OTA or not, it still installs the same way, the version numbers are all the same from what i've seen.
All i know is that when i updated to 2.1 i could see it, but now i cannot.
EXACTLY the same with me, when I did the 2.1 update it was there, I installed it , later decided it was too big and probably wouldn't use it, uninstalled it, now it is no longer in Market and get FC and black hung broser screen when I do to manual Google link m.google.com/earth. Also did "text link to phone" on Google page and when clicking the link get same as manual browser link.
I think it is temporary Google issue, not Droid issue.

This may not be a manual update issue - see below
Have been tempted to update manually but reading everyone's post update reports and this issue with Google Earth missing have held off.
My colleague got her update OTA and didn't install til just now. She walked over to show me the live wallpaper and I asked to borrow to search the market and guess what - no Google Earth - only Google Earth Blog and other stuff.
So - building evidence that the application might have been pulled rather than something related to performing a manual vs OTA update.
Unless folks can provide other similar instances where apps have gone missing post manual update - this may not be an issue at all OR at least not an issue with manual vs OTA.
Hope this helps.
