Google has released a new version of Google Earth, its geographic information software. The new release is available for free download from Google’s Web site.
Google Earth lets users explore the planet, viewing satellite imagery, checking out maps and terrains, viewing 3D building representations in urban areas, and checking photo galleries, multimedia content and more.
The new 5.0 release now features 3D bathymetry — you can explore the ocean floor. Depending on the 3D capabilities of your machine, you can even see wave motion on the surface of the water when you tilt your view. Previously, Google Earth sported a 2D relief map of major ocean features, but with 3D ocean view, you’ll actually see 3D terrain underwater. Environmental information about the ocean, including fishing and whale migration tracks have also been added.
