I enjoy wikimapia more than Google Earth as its more easy. Adding placemarks requires some more know-how while adding it in wikimapia is good for everybody

Totally Agree

I love Google Earth.

After I discovered Google Earth I "googled" my notebook  ""too hot"".  
Only after approx. one week of hard break I could switch on the notebook again.  
The buttons simply did not want to work during the rest period.  

Meanwhile, thank God, I have a (stronger) PC again.  

Google Earth is very helpful for holiday planning.
One gets a greater idea what kind of landscape one expected and how greatly or smally the villages are to which one would like to go. Is only pity that the quality of some of the maps still is not so good.

Personally, I don't find clicking the Add a Placemark button in Google Earth particularly difficult.

Wikimapia is Google Earth's poor relation with a fraction of the functionality of the real thing, but it is web based and doesn't require a software download.
