What will they think of next?
Just when you think Google have done it all, Google release “Google Earth 5.0″, the newest edition to the Google Earth Series. It’s the first program in the series that is a full program, not a beta. Below are some screen-shots of some of the new, and most well known Google Earth features. Obviously I have not shown every feature Google Earth 5.0 has to offer, but you get the idea!

The most exciting new feature in Google 5.0, is the ability to venture into the ocean, watch some of the most renouned documentary video’s, view shipwrecks (above), animal tracking, view marine project areas, and much more. |
Google 5.0 brings users the ability to turn on “3D Buildings”. As seen above, visit some of your favourite cities, and see some of the amazing buildings in relation to one another and the surrounding enviroment. |

Another breathtaking feature in Google Earth is the Mars view, although not new to 5.0, I think it deserves a mention here as one of the more spectacular features. View satellite imagery, terrains, craters, and even view photos of where rovers and landers have been! |
Another feature of Google 5.0, again not brand new, is the Sky view. View some of the most amazing galaxies (Hubble Space Deep Field featured above), well known constellations, view current sky events, look through our own solar system, and like the universe, the list is nearly endless! |
|
Google 5.0 comes with the feature to view current weather conditions and forecasts, view radar maps, or even look at the clouds of the earth at the present time (above). |
Another feature is the ability to show how the sunlight (or nightlight!) will look on either Earth (above), or Mars. Combined with the weather function, you can create some spectacular little thumbs of Earth. |
