Google has released the latest version of its Google Earth [5.0 (Beta)] with the new features as below:
- Historical imagery from around the globe
- Ocean floor and surface data from marine experts
- Simplified touring with audio and voice recording
As if looking at the landscape on Earth and stars in the outer space isn’t enough, the new Google Earth added more things for us to see: the Ocean layer. This new feature is the one that interests me the most, for me as a recreational diver and marine life lover. In the Ocean layer, there are contents (video/photos/text) provided by BBC, National Geographic and a few other organizations, as well as ocean sports sites mapping (dive sites, surf sites etc).
