Google say that any version of Earth Pro 7.3.0 and later should function normally under Mac OS 10.15. I'm running version 7.3.2.5776 on Catalina and haven't experienced a problem so far. You may see a message that 'Google Earth Pro.app is not optimised for your Mac'. This is due to a misconfiguration of the spotlight importer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't Living Earth syncing its cities between Mac and my iPhone/iPad?
Earthtales Mac Os X
Please verify iCloud is enabled on your Mac. This is on your Mac's System Preferences -> iCloud Prefererences pane. Also verify you have the Sync Cities option enabled in the Edit Cities section of Living Earth's Settings for iPhone and iPad and in Living Earth's Preferences on Mac. Also verify you're logged in to iCloud using the same Apple ID in the Settings app on all devices. On iPhone and iPad this will be in your Settings App->iCloud section. Lastly also verify Documents & Data syncing is enabled on your iPad/iPhone in Settings App -> iCloud -> Documents & Data.'
Why is my weather data sometimes inconsistent with other sources?
When you add your city with the Location button, Living Earth will use the weather station closest to your geographic location. As a result, current conditions data and forecasts are more accurate than other weather sources that may only use a weather station located at the nearest airport. We use the world class weather provider Weather Underground's PWS network for weather conditions data. The exact location of the weather station you're using can be referenced by finding your location at www.wunderground.com and choosing the 'Station Select' button to view weather stations in your area.
Why isn't the Living Earth screensaver activating?
Please verify you disabled your system screen saver in OSX System Preferences. Under macOS High Sierra this is under System Preferences->Desktop & Screen Saver->Screen Saver. Choose 'Start After' to Never. Also verify you're not running third party utilities such as Caffeine that may prevent the screensaver from activating.
