The oceans star on the Google Earth for Android app.
This story is excerpted from Appolicious.com
Google has introduced a major upgrade to the Android version of its Google Earth app that is so cool it may sway your decision if you were to pick today between buying an Android phone or an iPhone.
With Google Earth 1.1 for Android, users can dive into the ocean to see what our planet looks like from below.
The updated app “introduces the ‘Explore the Ocean’ layer, which features hundreds of photos and videos from more than 100 contributors who are excited to share their stories of sea,” according to Google’s description on its mobile blog. One of those partners is Mission Blue, an organization dedicated to preserving special areas around the ocean. The group’s content includes undersea videos that can be accessed on the new version of Google Earth.
