Trying to install Google Earth on Lenny. How on earth??????



I have been trying to install Google Earth on Lenny in order to be able to 
show a *********** insurance inspector what the junction, where my husband 
and a cyclist had a slight contretemps a few weeks ago, looked like. 

I am not getting very far.  Googling brings up more stories of failure and 
frustration than anything else.  I finally tried using this:

I downloaded, then:

lisi@Tux:~$ cd /home/lisi/Peter/Google_Earth/
lisi@Tux:~/Peter/Google_Earth$ chmod u+x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
lisi@Tux:~/Peter/Google_Earth$ su
Password:
Tux:/home/lisi/Peter/Google_Earth# ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 
5.1.3535.3218..............................................................

I am short of time now, getting riled and probably not thinking straight.

Can any kind soul point me in the right direction or give me a hint as to what 
I can usefully put in a Google search?  Garbage in and garbage out. :-(

Thanks for any help,
Lisi
