Google Ocean - Cousteau Would Be Proud

Google never stops. After having map almost the entire world in High Def images it is time to do something about the Oceans. CNET News.com reported that in December there was a meeting at Googleplex with top oceanic researchers, to discus the potentials of mapping digital the earth’s oceans.
The outcome would be an application similar to Google Earth (or maybe inside Google earth, like Google SKy). The user will be able to navigate through the entire environment, search, zoom, etc. Exactly like Google Earth.
Experts argue that more than 100 years will be needed in order to complete a 3d high resolution scanning of the oceans, but others insist that there are already enough maps for the new Gooogle experiment.
We are waiting
I think that the outcome will be less impressive than Nintendo’s Endless Ocean
