Full ocean floor data is now available on Google Earth 5.0, which is fresh off the press today.

It's pretty sweet - check it out!

I've already found a "shipwreck" (30°28'25.51"N, 32°59'38.88"E) in the Sinaï desert, and a shipwreck that is near the Gibraltar strait but sunk off the Aruban coast. (36° 5'58.62"N, 3°28'59.90"W)



(PS Install Google Earth 5.0 and turn on the Ocean stuff)

Really?

I just downloaded Google Earth 5 without Chrome.

Chrome is optional, there's a checkbox.

Where, I went to those coordinates and couldn't see anything.

I typed in 'Titanic' and got Titanic, Oklahoma!

Turn on the Ocean features, it should display shipwreck hotspots.

I did, but being on land I expected an aerial shot of a shipwreck in the desert.

Or did you mean there's a wreck notification in the desert by accident?

^ could be the Ark?

When I read the title of the thread I though "Wow...looking at the ocean...that's boring!"

Maybe you can zoom in on girls tanning on cruise ships.

Yeah, it made me wonder how accurate the rest of their data is.
