It was neat, the few times i tried it out 10 years back. But Osmand is more performant on the phone than Earth was on desktop and has better features.

I'm still pissed about how they removed recursive calling from hey google actions
This is another reason why I'm trying to move away from anything Google. They have a pretty good track record of shutting things down
