Google Earth Pro - Crashing/Slow with Macbook Pro M1 Max (2021)

Good evening,

I wanted to ask some feedbacks, and eventually a solution about something I am experiencing.

I have the Macbook Pro M1 Max (2021) and I have downloaded from the official website the app "Google Earth Pro". Sadly this is incredibly slow in any operation I try to do, even just zooming in.

Has anyone else experienced this? How did you solve? Is this expected because the app is not fully compatible with the new M1 Chip?

Thanks in advance!

N

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Some quick research suggests the app is not yet optimized for the M1 Silicone chip. Best advice would be to reach out to Google directly as this is their product, not Apple's.

While it's true Google Earth Pro is not yet optimized for Apple Silicon, I have it installed on my M1 MacBook Air and it is neither slow nor does it crash.
