225. Video of the day: Google Earth 5 beta
Save This Post as PDFNew Google Earth beta version has been recently released and it is just amazingly cool: it supports historical imagery (that is, you can see how the part of the Earth’s surface you are interested in looked like 50, 100, 10000 years ago), ocean data (that is, you can now study the ocean’s floor with Google Earth!) and even 3D map of Mars. Below is the official announcement video:

Wow, that’s cool. Downloading immediately. By the way, I think you’re wrong it’s “beta”. It seems to be branded as the official, final release.
Thanks for the backlink! I’ll check out “beta” issue.

Nope, this is beta. See the text below the button “Download Google Earth 5.0″ on the main Google Earth site.
Cheers,
Dmitry.
