No, Quest (1 or 2) does not have enough processing power to run Google Earth VR standalone. It does run it well if you use Link and have a good gaming PC. 9 9900k, rtx3090, 32 Gb ram, 1tb ssd, 4tb hdd. Xi hero wifi mb, 750w psu, Q2 w/Air Link, Vive Pro.
The most usefull answer is: google Earth on Steam. VR works great on my Oculus Quest 2, connected wirelessly via the Virtual Desktop / Sidequest solution. No link cable is needed. As with games like Half Life: Alyx, wireless now seems to perform better than using a link cable (assuming you PC has the power, and you have 5Ghz Wi. Fi).
Is there a VR version of Google Earth on Oculus Quest?
Yeah google earth vr, is only on the link via oculus app on the pc. You can try wander which is a psuedo google earth vr, for the quest. But google earth vr is too much for the quest to do locally.
I discovered google Earth would be perfect for the Oculus Quest because there is no cables and you can walk around freely. I would love to see Google Earth in the Oculus Quest online store.

It works on Quest 2 with Link cable (ANKER CABLE not original) on nvidea 1070 over the oculus app Store . Yes it works. I hope they come out with a non wired version. I just tried it last night and it blew me away. Even got queazy after flying around for 90 min.
The next thing we asked ourselves was; do you use VR properly when playing Quest 2?
Waiting on Quest 2 to arrive. Never really used VR properly. Sounds like a silly question but does it feel like you’re on the Earth, like google street view might or is it more like you’re holding a small globe and rotating it in front of you?
Why doesn’t Google make a quest version of Google Earth?
So even if the Quest 2 could run it (it could, at least at lower quality terrain detail, if Google put some effort into optimising), Google wouldn’t be interested in making a Quest version. They never even made a version for their own Daydream platform.
Google Earth has been running on smart phones for at least the past 10 years.
