Latest version fixes are great by Jesse
I just tested the latest version of this, and it fixes the issues that have been reported by many, including those where the maps were not showing up at all, or were showing up not at ground level. Glad to see there are developers out there who care about their apps so much.

Couldn't get it to work by Terry
Samsung Odyssey headset, could not get map to show, menus show up but voice commands don't go anywhere. May be a problem with the Samsung?

Doesn't do anything by Jerry
Using a Samsung Odyssey. I start the app/game/whatever, it loads and it seems I'm standing at a very high altitude over a featureless landscape. There's a menu available with a list of cities. Presumably you're supposed to be able to view these cities in some way. Whenever I select one the list goes away and nothing happens. Doesn't show any signs of loading or responding in any way. I've got a Titan X GPU, so I'm not underpowered. Don't know what's up with it. Google Earth on SteamVR looks much better.

Fantastic use case of mixed reality by Ravi
Wonderful use case for mixed reality. Love to hike and to be able to visualize topography using 3D aerial maps is fantastic!
