Is all this the same as Google Earth?

I downloaded this (it's free) and you can go anywhere, type in any address, look at nearby hotels and restaurants, even read National Geographic articles related to the area you're looking at.

The "tilt" function is amazing. I've gone down to ground level at my favorite camping spot in the desert and tilted the point-of-view to look at the horizon, and the views are 100 percent correct.
