| This week, Google released version 5.0 of its 'Google Earth' mapping and geo-visualization program. The new version, however, adds features that take the program beyond just mapping Earth's land -- including data that allow users of the program to explore the world's oceans. We'll talk with oceanographer Sylvia Earle about why the new features are significant. |
