Google Earth has a search/fly-to option allowing you to type in a specific address, partial address, or just a city name, zip code, airport code, or country to search.

You can also enter an explicit latitude, longitude coordinate (e.g. 37.78, -122.4) with latitude first. If location is not where you expect (happens sometimes) then prefix the coordinate with "loc:" (e.g. loc: 37.78, -122.4) and enter this into Google Earth's Search/Fly-to input field.

If the search option is not showing then you might have to enable the Sidebar panel in the View menu.

As with Google Maps you can also do advanced searches such as 'restaurants near times square' or 'hotels near 747 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94103'. You can also get directions.

The latitude and longitude of your cursor appear at the bottom of the screen

as you move around.

If you have the latitude and longitude and you want to find that place, type

the coordinates into the search window and click the search-glass.

To view driving directions in Google Earth you can right-click an icon or search listing result then in the pop-up menu, select either 'Directions from here' or 'Directions to here'. When you do this, the 'Search' panel automatically transfers the information to the 'Directions' tab. The route and turn-by-turn directions appear in the search listings window.

It's easier to create driving directions in Google Maps (especially if you want to print it) then export the route back into Google Earth if you want to see it in 3-D. Google Maps also has advanced features. It allows you to change the mode of transport and get walking directions or travel by bicycle or public transit. Google Earth only shows driving directions by car.

In the search/fly-to panel in addition to addresses you can enter latitude/longitude coordinates to fly-to that location but it must be one of the supported formats:

1. Latitude, Longitude in decimal format:

e.g., 37.7, -122.2

Note that such coodinates must appear in this order (latitude, longitude).

2. Latitude, Longitude in DMS format:

37 25'19.07"N, 122 05'06.24"W or

37 25 19.07 N, 122 05 06.24 W

Note that format 37d25'19.07"N, 122d05'06.24"W does NOT work with Google Earth.

Sometimes the lookup gets confused so in that case try adding "loc:" before the coordinates such as in: loc: 37° 25′ 19″ N, 122° 05′ 06″ W In most cases you can use the same query search in Google Earth as you use in Google Maps.

How do you get the coordinates on Google Earth?

Best method is to find location in question using Google Earth then from the File menu select 'View in Google Maps'. Right mouse-click on map from Google Maps to select 'What's Here' link to show nearest address.Likewise, the Street View interface from Google Maps shows approximate addresses for a given property.Google states up front that some addresses are not roof-top accurate and describe this as the result of how addresses are matched up to an exact position on the earth. Google relies on a technique called "address interpolation," which is a fancy way of saying that they take a best guess. More specifically, the algorithm looks at the total number of addresses in a given block and assumes an even distribution of the addresses along that block.For example, if there are ten addresses for the 800th block of Main Street, it assumes that the fifth address is located at the halfway point.

The new Google Earth 6.2 has the search fly-to interface completely redone. It no longer has an explicit fly-to as did previous versions of Google Earth.
