Can also hold down Shift then up/down arrow to tilt. Left/Right to rotate.
To be honest I didnt know you could turn then globe into a draggable compass in v9. Yes, that doesnt seem to be present in the new version.

Can click the 2D/3D toggle to quickly switch between top down and a tilted view
But use the mouse to actually change the tilt/rotation

Can still use mouse dragging and/or keyboard navigation
Just realised, you can also hold down ctrl or shift when dragging with left mouse button to tilt/rotate.
- Shift, works more like the middle mouse button (use useful if dont have one!). Ctrl, offers an alternative mode.

First, thanks for the keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Some of them are actually better than the original controls.
Second, I'm waiting for new that Earth will no longer support tilt and rotate because no one uses it because, of course, they don't see the controls... Oh well. Hopefully they'll bring them back.
