Coming up: Google Ocean
Google is planning an oceanographic parallel to Google Earth and Google Sky, giving users access to maps over the ocean floor.
According to CNet Google has established an advisory group of oceanography experts to help them develop the new product.
In December the company invited researchers from institutions around the world to the Googleplex in California to discuss the creation of a 3D oceanographic map.
Not all of the ocean floor has been mapped in detail, and Google’s project may speed up the process of us getting to know the deep.
Google Earth is a free PC program that lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings and even explore galaxies in the Sky. You can explore geographical content, save your toured places and share with others.
Google Ocean is expected to work in much the same way.
