Google Earth from 2.1 for Non-Roots

Tig, I don't understand how to install this App. You say in your instructions not to download directly to phone. To download to PC and move to SD card then install. My assumption is placing it in the root of the SD. Well, wouldn't that be the same as downloading to my phone and move the file to the root of SD using Astro. It still doesn't work, I get a parse error. I tried battery pull and reinstall that didn't seem to work either. Are we to push the file using adb? Any help would be great, I'm on the fence to root, thinking about waiting for 2.1 but we'll see, we're getting all the 2.1 apps anyway, the only thing that is attracting me to root is OC.
I placed it on the root dir of the sd card and then navigated to it in Astro. When you tap the file it, will ask you to "browse file" or "open app manager". You want to open App Manager. There will be a button to install on the next screen that pops up. Hope that clears up any confusion.

it's actually disappointing, why is it missing the features of Maps?

google earth
Can someone explain what can you do with this app, after you are past the first 30 minutes of the "this is so neat". I'd wish google would put more effort into useful apps, like the Navigation or the Browser, both could use much more work.
It seems to me google are releasing apps quickly but never bother to go back and make them complete, and instead move on to the next "flashy" thing. (where is my Flash!, lol)

+ this
I downloaded it on my PC and Droid. But how do I move it from the PC to my Droid??
I did exactly that but, when I open up app manager, the install button is not there. was I supposed to change the name to ".zip"? (I didn't but, was I supposed to?)
EXACTLY what I get also!!
I agree. I got a low memory warning and when I checked Google Earth was taking up 33mb of my 250mb on phone memory. This should be created to offload the bulk of it onto the card.
Coolest thing done so far with it? Driving with it on "my location". Take the look-around feature and pan-n-tilt a bit. I got it so I was no longer looking straight down but was looking towards the horizon. With that in driving mode it displayed where I was going. Not that it could replace the view out my windshield but it came close
