Google Earth has just gone one step further, and now users can take a 3D drive in the sea. Users can see the ocean topography, see areas of the earth changed over time, and even see the landscape on Mars. U.S. former Vice President, Al Gore, also the Nobel Peace Prize winner, said: "Google Earth using the Earth itself as a country organizing metaphor not only for visual images, but for all the pictures, historical, scientific, cultural, everything you can think ... and it is ordered geospatially because it is more sensible. It is easier to use"
In Southeast Asia, Google wants to work with environmental groups to give more focus on software. Marketing Manager for Google Southeast Asia, Derek Callow said: "There is a wealth of data from user-generated content. We are a region that has received a lot of coastline, many training opportunities and tourist spots but also some real environmental challenges. And environmental challenges include pollution and threatened marine life. More than 500 million people have downloaded Google Earth since it was launched in 2005. Although the software is freely available on Google's website, researchers and organizations can buy a more powerful version for around $ 400 Google says the idea to add sea came three years ago, when a scientist pointed out that the software lacked information about what is under water, which covers almost three-quarters of the earth's surface.
Many local environmental groups has been an extensive web for some time now, but with this new feature on Google Earth, they say they will be able to raise more awareness about the environment, particularly for marine conservation in this region. Managing Director of the Singapore Environment Council, Howard Shaw, said: "There is a lack of information in this region and the region we call the Coral Triangle, which contains the richest biodiversity anywhere in the ground than in the South American Amazon rainforest itself."
