Application for Google Maps similar to Google Earth?

Is any one aware of an application that runs on your PC similar to Google Earth? I know you can show roads and streets on Google Earth but I want to see just roads and streets, more of a map. The on line version of Google Maps is a bit cumbersome to use and makes printing almost impossible.

Mapquest has the same problems as Google Maps. I tiny view of the map, very cumbersome to navigate and no easy way to print.
