Dive into the ocean with Google Earth on your Android mobile
Still enjoying the summer? Now Google calls you to explore the unexplored with.. your Android smartphone. The new Google Earth 1.1 for Android gives you the amazing opportunity to see and explore three-quarters of our planet - the ocean - with you on your mobile device.
With Google Earth 1.1 you can check out the landscape and terrain in Monterery Bay Canyon, which is larger than the Grand Canyon, by zooming in on Google Earth below the ocean surface just off the coast. Once underwater, use the "look around" button to tilt the view and see the extent of this great undersea canyon.
The latest version of Google Earth for Android offers also the "Explore the Ocean" layer, which features hundreds of photos and videos from more than 100 contributors. Google Earth for Android 1.1 is available already in Android Market for Android devices running version 2.1 or later.
For those of you running Android 2.2, there are some more treats in store. Google Earth now supports Flash in balloons, so if you have the Flash player installed on your mobile device, you can watch videos right in the balloon. The program is also made easier to navigate; for most devices, you can now use two fingers to "look around" and change your viewpointand also to rotate your view with a simple twist of your fingers.
