Google Earth-like app for Mac

Apple's Maps sucks !

A long time ago, I was using the Google Earth app to draw paths in a country, to make itineraries and travel predictions. What good app that could do the same today ? What Mac app let you pin points on the globe and draw lines between them ?

I use Google Earth app all the time. You could download that and see if it still does what you need...
Here's a link where you can download the free Google Earth Pro for your Mac.

Starting off by stating Apple Maps sucks is not a good start. Just because it doesn't offer what you need doesn't mean that it is a bad product.

Google Maps is still available as bogdanw states. If you don't want to use the app - you can use it in a browser: https://earth.google.com/web/
