    Use the same URL you would in a browser. Do it manually first. Then use following in c# : webBrowser1.Navigate("url"); – jdweng Sep 02 '20 at 10:36

Pre-requisite: CefSharp.WinForms via Nuget, reference Cefsharp. Note there are some limitations when using the default webBrowser control that's why I used Cefsharp for this. You can read this article C# webBrowser script error.

Article about Fun stuff to do with the new Google Earth URL.

private const string googleEarthUrl = "https://earth.google.com/web/@{0},{1},{2}a,{3}d";
private ChromiumWebBrowser browser;
private decimal locationAltitude = 200;
private decimal distanceOfEyeFromThePoint = 500000;

Initialize

browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser(getLocationUrl());
gbGoogleEarth.Controls.Add(browser);

Get Location URL

private string getLocationUrl()
{
    return string.Format(googleEarthUrl, txtLatitude.Text, txtLongitude.Text, distanceOfEyeFromThePoint, locationAltitude);
}

Submit

browser.Load(getLocationUrl());

Sample Output:
