Google maps go under water
Google Maps Street View mode has reached new depths - the company has published the first underwater areas, panoramas of which can be viewed on maps. The Catlin Seaview Survey (a series of scientific expeditions for the study of the oceans), which used the specially designed underwater camera Seaview SVII, now existing in only two copies,
worked as a Google partner in creating underwater maps . She can take a 360-degree panorama every three seconds and determine her coordinates and shooting direction. Now Google offers 6 locations - in the Philippines, Hawaii and Australia. Given that the oceans occupy 2/3 of the Earth’s surface, Google has a lot of work ahead.
