Google’s already mapped the earth, space, and even Liberty City, so we’re excited to see they’re taking the next step and working on mapping the world’s oceans. We think it would be cooler if they’d work on mapping the ocean floor instead, but hey, baby steps right? Working with a bunch of oceanography experts, Google plans to map the world’s oceans in 3D, exploring everything from shipwreck zones to previously unexplored areas of the world’s oceans, even letting you zoom in on cool sites. Aside from some apparent security issues, the project is running along smoothly, and we’re waiting expectantly for a roll-out date.
