Submerge yourself in Google Earth

This is a walkthrough of the new version of Google Earth (version 5), which now includes several impressive new options including the ability to navigate across a historical timeline and view the changes that have occured in the region, simplified touring with audio and voice recording, and my personal favourite - and the topic of this screen cast - the ability to go underwater to view the ocean floor and surface data from marine experts.

hi, I'm Anilso, and I like to know: why my Google Earth in option "ocean" don't appear the sea at moving, he stay stopped! perhaps this happens because my version is beta? if you can send me a link of a full version of 5.0 !!! here in Brasil, we've only this version is beta! the functions are limited. (desde já obrigado, e se puder ajudar, agradeço)

Hi Anilso,

According to the Google Earth website, the current version that's available here is only 5.0 (beta) as well. So I don't appear to have access to any additional functionality than you.

Also I just took another look and realised that I can't see much ocean movement on my current machine either. This particular screencast was done at work on a higher spec machine with a better graphics card. I suspect this may be the reason you can't see the additional graphical elements.

Also, just to confirm - do you have the Terrain option enabled? If you look at the Layers area at the bottom of the side, Terrain is the very last tick box.

FYI - I've just recorded a clip covering the basics of GE navigation called "Navigating around Google Earth", so look for it in my video options.
