From the heights of unseen mountain peaks, to hidden Pokémon and plane crashes, Google's Maps application has expanded in recent years to bring us much more than just the traffic on the 210 freeway. Originally intended as an on-the-go directory for every destination, providing directions for every mode of transportation, Google Maps in recent years has become a staple phone application and invaluable site for commuters, scientists and adventurers alike. Taking cartography to newer heights, with aerial views and street-level imaging, the application now serves as an explorable map of world, gaining greater detail every day.
Taking the application to new depths, Google in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that scientists with the NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries has taken camera's under the sea for a "fisheye" view of the Florida Keys' breathtaking coral reefs.
