Google Earth 5: spin, analyse & go under water

Posted on 02.02.2009 at 23:56 in Tech News by Martin

The latest version of Google’s geospatial mapping app lets users dive beneath the seas, explore the effects of climate change, and view high-resolution NASA images of Mars. The stars came out Monday morning at San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences to reveal Google Earth 5.0 beta, the latest version of Google’s geospatial mapping application. Google Earth 5.0 includes several significant new features. The biggest change is that Google’s globe now includes the world’s oceans, an addition prompted in part by Earle’s suggestion several years ago that Google rename its then soil-centric geo-application Google Dirt. Ocean in Google Earth allows users to navigate beneath the waves, view videos of ocean life, and see data layers that reveal information about how oceans function.

Another new Google Earth 5.0 feature called Touring allows users to record and share narrated fly-through tours of Google Earth using imagery from the application. Google’s goal is “to enable people to tell stories and share them,” said John Hanke, director of Google Earth and Maps. Google Earth 5.0 also adds the ability to upload GPS tracking data from GPS devices. Finally, Google Earth 5.0 adds high-resolution images from Mars. By selecting “Mars” from the toolbar in Google Earth, users have access to what amounts to Google Mars Street View — a way to tour the portions of the Martian surface mapped by NASA’s rovers. Google Earth is available in 41 languages and has been downloaded more than 500 million times since its launch in June 2005.

    "Anybody got the install without using the Google Updater?"

    You can just uninstall the Google Updater once Google Earth is installed. The installer also downloads and installs Google Chrome, which I also uninstalled.
