Google Ocean : Explore Oceans from the comfort of your home
Google Ocean, which is included in the newest version of Google Earth, will allow users to swim around underwater volcanoes, watch videos about exotic marine life, read about nearby shipwrecks, contribute photos and watch unseen footage of historic ocean expeditions – all from the comfort of your homes.
"For the first time, everyone from curious kids to serious researchers can see the world, the whole world, with new eyes."
In addition to Ocean, Google has also introduced other tools for Google Earth 5.0 users, including Virtual Time travel – where users can revisit the past and observe changes in areas where historical satellite imagery is available. For example, users will be able to see construction of Germany’s soccer stadiums in the build up to the 2006 World Cup, witness the desertification of Africa’s Lake Chad and track the melting of ice on the Grinnell Glacier in Montana.
Users can visit the planet Mars with a click of a button to see high resolution imagery and 3D terrain and a bit closer to home, users will be able to download GPS Tracking, making it easy to visualize and record running, hiking and biking routes.
