After being in constant development and publishing weekly updates ( or most of the time daily ) for over a year now,

The community and I didn't think there was a better traveling experience for VR than the official Google Earth VR for VR-Compatible PC devices.

So, it’s obvious that we compared EarthQuest to it.

Now you might not take my word for it and can’t take the buyer’s word for it without joining the community and seeing it for yourself either.

So, you might be asking, how exactly is standalone EarthQuest better than the official title that’s been “the best” for years?

Well, the simplest explanation is, think of it as the same exact app ( with the same exact functionality and quality ), but also having:

• The app running fully standalone

• Hand Tracking with no restrictions

• Multiplayer and exploration with friends

• A ChatGPT Powered Travel Assistant that you can talk to in YOUR OWN LANGUAGE to learn anything about your surroundings ( and the world ) or to teleport you anywhere just by asking
  
  

• Actual 8k UNCOMPRESSED Street View

• Realistic Sky Lighting and customizable Day / Night cycles
  
  

• Customization Features like flight experience settings, remapping your flight inputs to - simple intuitive flight, left-handed supported flight or cinematic flight controls  -  AND Comfort Options like snap turning rotation / flight vignette for eliminating Motion Sickness

• Be any size you want ( human sized or mountain sized ), and everything in between

• Having full control over terrain quality and computation for insane terrain quality and faster terrain loading

• Way more and better soundtracks with low-volume ambient sounds

• Mixed Reality ( if preferred ) 

• Google Maps Integration directly on the menu with adjustment features and infinite free usage ( like everything else )

• + 100s more
