The plugin is present and in Operas plugin list.
It doesn't work at all if I identify as Opera, it just tells me I have an unsupported browser.
Identifying as another browser doesn't help.
Masking as IE triggers a plugin download, which appears to work but still says I need it afterwards (guess that's the ActiveX control for IE).
Identifying as Firefox produces some joy, but all I get is a loading icon which never completes!
Is there any answer to this or is this yet another of the many sites I will have to still use IE for?
Still loading... Slow? Use the troubleshooting guide or basic HTML.
I was trying to use Street View. Works absolutely fine in Firefox so it must be another Opera "feature".
Works better than the online version too.

Certainly, not using Opera to access this service would be a good way round the problem. I'd rather be able to use Opera, though.

Probably Earth view plugin size is similar to standalone Earth application. GoogleEarth as an app was available far before browser blugin was, so Plugin is a way round

I've had the same problem, but it was caused by blocked content ( *gstatic* from www.gstatic.com ), so try and disable Blocked Content first.

Thanks, but there's nothing blocked on that page. As soon as I go to maps in the search engine, I get the yellow "still loading..." message". Opera just can't cope with google maps. Opera needs to fix it. It's a pain opening up Firefox.

I don't really know what you're suggesting I do here.
I meant you wrote that using Google Earth application is "a good way round the problem", but using a browser plugin (generally, not for Opera as it doesn't exist) is a real way round, as standalone application was the first one to access this service.

(and before you ask, we are painfully aware that the Earth plug-in on Google Maps isn't working. We are working on solving that too. It is unrelated to the patch above.)
Good news, let's hope it's fixed for the release of 10.54!
