Peter, you wrote: "Google has launched what is touted as being one of the most comprehensive 3D maps of the ocean floor" Just for the record, I've been following all sorts of mapping tools and software for the better part of twenty years, and I would have to say that this is the best bathymetry available in a non-professional source. There are a number of details that I check on these things, and most of the errors and inconsistencies in other datasets are not present in Google Earth's seas. This isn't navigation-quality data, but it's very good! -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
