Google Earth Not supported by my Droid

[markmicallef]

I'm running 2.0.1 on a Droid, I haven't rooted or anything. When I saw Google Earth was available, I searched for it in the market but couldn't find it.
So I went to m.google.com/earth

1. clicked on send to phone
2. Entered my phone number
3. Got the link sent to my phone
4. Clicked on the link

Got this message,
"Device not supported"

"Sorry Google Earth is not supported by your device"

What gives?

You dont need it, just use google maps., same thing. Make sure you click tabs, then satelite view.

will not work on 2.0.1 UNLESS you have root access.

When we get 2.1 you will be good to go though.

2.1 will be released in March.

Thanks for the response Cereal Killer, Shadez you're probably right, Heard its like 22m.

thats not really true, they're different, although very similar. Its a pretty fun app to mess with. 22m is a big footprint though

I got it to work but my droid is rooted and running ultimate rom. I think you need 2.1 to use earth.

 

[pyro6128]

if youre rooted but aren't able to download it, you have to edit your build.prop file. I had to to the same thing in order for it to show up in the market.

Here's a link to Google Earth and a few other 2.1 apps available to NON root users. If you are on stock 2.0.1 this will work for you. Thanks to RinTinTigger for the original link.

You can run Google Earth on a 2.0.1 I'm doing it now, you just need to go into settings , Applications, make sure that check mark is on and run this:

Well shucks, as a rooted Droid user running GE, I don't feel so exclusive anymore.

If you don't want to use it fine, But why tell anyone they don't need it...
