Gallery: Google Earth 5 explores on sea, land, and air

  • Google Earth continues to fill in the blanks in its quest to map out the universe. Version 5 takes you to the bottom of the Earth's oceans, into the recent past, across your latest journeys, and onto the Red Planet in 3D - where no Google Earth has gone before.

    Check out why Sam Diaz is exited about the newest Google Earth.

    All this, plus video clips, encyclopedia-like references and maybe even your town's newest pizza shop makes Earth a nicer place to visit.

    You can download Google Earth 5.0 here. All image credits to Google. And remember, you can click on any image to enlarge.
