Google Earth 5 ist da: Historische Karten, Ozean uvm.
Während ich noch im Flieger Richtung Deutschland saß, stellte Google bereits im Beisein zahlreicher Prominenz (u.a. Google Maps Direktor John Hanke, Al Gore, diverse Wissenschaftler) die neue Version 5 von Google Earth vor. Google Earth 5 ist die erste "final"-Version, schließlich verschwindet jetzt das "beta"-Label aus dem Produktnamen. Und dies wird auch Zeit. Mit der Version 5 startet u.a. Google Ocean. Das Meer ist nun nicht mehr eine monotone blaue Fläche, sondern es gibt (wo verfügbar) 3D-Daten des Meeresgrundes, Wellenanimationen und sehr umfangreiche Layer mit Informationen zu Expeditionen, zu Schiffswracks, Meeresschutzgebieten, Tierortung uvm.
Doch dass ist erst der Anfang. Version 5 bietet weiterhin den Mars in 3D, historisches Kartenmaterial vieler Regionen (wie hat sich z.B. die Innenstadt von Berlin in den letzten Jahren entwickelt?), die Möglichkeit, eigene Touren aufzuzeichen, die Funktionen aus dem bisher kostenpflichtigen Google Earth Plus, ein überarbeitetes Layout, uvm. Oben ein kurzes Video zu den Neuerungen.
Da Ogle Earth, Google Earth Blog und andere sich bereits eingehend mit den Neuerungen beschäftigt haben (und ich fast schon wieder auf dem Weg zum Flughafen bin), hier nur eine Übersicht über einige der Berichte:
The Google globe looks a lot nicer today, at least from afar, because the faux 3D bathymetry painted onto the ocean surface just got a lot more detailed. Its now a lot clearer, for example, that while the Mediterranean is a deep sea, the Yellow Sea/West Sea a shallow sea. And it is now also a...
[UPDATED] Google Earth 5.0 is just now released! You can download it here. There are some major new features in this release. Not the least of which is the long-rumored ocean features (3D Ocean floors, ocean surface, and more). Also, historical aerial/satellite imagery. And a new 3D Mars!! ...

[UPDATED] One of my favorite new major features of Google Earth 5 is the new Mars mode. This feature isnt obvious when you first load up Google Earth 5, but it is fantastic! After loading Google Earth you look for the little planet icon at the top center of the view. Click on it and you will s...
[UPDATED] Google already had more satellite and aerial imagery available for free than anyone. Now, theyve added a new feature to new Google Earth 5 that lets you turn back the clock and see other imagery they have for locations around the world. Click on the little "Clock" icon in the upper mi...
[UPDATED] Another major new feature in Google Earth 5 is the new Record Tour feature. This is NOT recording video. Instead it is a major new capability for GE 5 that lets you record and play back scripted KML sessions. This means you can record things you want to show to a KML file, pass the K...
Posted by Sylvia A. Earle, Explorer-in-residence, National GeographicThree years ago, I met Google Earth and Maps Director John Hanke at a conference in Spain, and had a chance publicly to say how much I love Google Earth. ?My children, my grandchildren think it is great to see their backyard, fl...
Google Earth has always aimed to deliver the most compelling and complete representation of the earth as possible. Until now, we have only been able to show a single image of any location. Displaying one image is fantastic for exposing the intricacy and majesty of our planet, but it reduces eac...

The size and amount of interesting new information about Google Earth available from around the web got to be a bit too much to append to the end of the original post, so here are the updates, collected into a new post. In this case, the most recent links are at the end. Update - 21:50 UTC: Goo...

Posted by Mano Marks, Geo APIs team Youve probably already read about this weeks release of Google Earth 5.0 and its exciting new features, including Historical Imagery, Touring, Ocean, and Mars. As is usually the case for new features in Earth, we wanted to add representations for some of them ...
Google Earth has done much to help humans understand their planet, opening the eyes of many to new views of places near and far. But for some time now, the Google Earth team has failed to prioritize the obvious needs of a very select but important potential audience: Martians.Yes, Martians.Google...

EarthNCs Virgil Zetterlind has an early hack out taking advantage of the new iframe support for placemark popups in Google Earth 5: You can now search georeferenced YouTube videos, get the result as a KML file, and then look for new keywords from within a popup in GE. Heres the explanatory post o...
