New Google Earth version 5.0 available that shows ocean details. http://earth.google.comThe Gull - 2-3-2009 at 07:26 AM
Already downloaded and working - cool.Santiago - 2-3-2009 at 08:18 AM
Neal: I noticed that Google Plus for $20 is no longer available - must go all the way to $400 Pro for GPS.Neal Johns - 2-3-2009 at 09:33 AM
Santiago,
I noticed that; maybe the Plus $20 feature(s) are included in the free edition, I have not checked yet. My GE still shows Plus. The only Plus feature
I ever noticed was better print resolution (same screen view). A mystery!bajalou - 2-3-2009 at 09:51 AM
Before I upgraded to 5, there was a tab to "Upgrade to Plus". I didn't try it but it's not here on 5. I had tried several months ago to upgrade
without any success. The only thing I found it did, when I had it, was put GPS tracks directly into GE. I have another program that I can do that
with so not really much of a loss for me.elizabeth - 2-3-2009 at 09:51 AM
This version is great...just started checking out the underwater features...and I'm blown away.fdt - 2-3-2009 at 10:54 AM
Better detail on land also. ThanksSantiago - 2-3-2009 at 11:27 AM
Looks like the free version has the GPS feature that was only available in Google Plus before.Sharksbaja - 2-3-2009 at 12:14 PM
That's what they promised.They gave every subscriber to Google Plus a free extension until the new release.Bajaboy - 2-3-2009 at 01:51 PM
For those in the San Diego area, my friend and coach Steve Diggs is giving a presentation on the new GE:
What: Presentation on "Ocean in Google Earth" launched this week
Where: Sumner Auditorium
When: Wednesday, Feb. 4 from 12:00 pm to 12:30 pm
Please join Director Tony Haymet for a presentation with Scripps Data Manager Steve Diggs about the latest features to explore the ocean in Google
Earth. Steve attended the Google upgrade launch in San Francisco on Monday, Feb. 2, and will discuss the latest news on Google's dive into the ocean
and how Scripps can provide data and other content for a future "Scripps layer."
SIO professor David Sandwell and his NOAA colleague supplied the global bathymetry data for the three-dimensional backdrop required for the new ocean
feature in Google Earth. Scripps also contributed to the "Ocean Expeditions" layer with details of R/V Melville recent two-and-a-half year research
voyage. Scripps news release: http://scrippsnews.ucsd.edu/Releases/?releaseID=956

I always enjoy improved satellite imagery.

What's with the Google Web browser they are trying to install with Earth 5.0 ?
It won't let me install Earth 5.0 without it.shari - 2-8-2009 at 08:01 AM
geez...with all this amazing satellite imagery...you can darn near see me nude sunbathing on my patio....ewwww...I'm thinking that it might be a good
idea to bring back that oversized mexican sombrero thing to wear when I'm outside so you cant see me when you zoom in here!2-tie-dye-4 - 2-8-2009 at 08:11 AM

That yellowtail was just caught on Juan's boat (that day) and Shari had her knife out in nothing flat, turning it into sashimi!
