With Google!

It's google's map service, but running as a hybrid with Mars scans. I think it's pretty awesome that we can check out another planet in this much detail! The thousands of craters are just amazing as well.

Great 👍, so google is trying to take over the solar system now? :p
 
I'm gonna start looking for that face. :D When I read the thread title, I thought it was a name scrambler of some sort(like Gran Turismo=Touring Mars).
 
At first I thought this was some sort of thread about the moderator...

But google mars is still cool. Although there won't be too much to see other than lots of red and craters. Is the 'face' on Mars included?
 
The way it's going, Google will end up owning Microsoft....

Jordan posted a thread a while back which linked to a short movie that outlined this very scenario. Definitley worth a watch if you didn't see it before.

What face?

The google mars thing is pretty cool, now if only they'd add data for Mars or other planets to Google Earth. Maybe they'd have to change the name? :dunce:
 
It is a monument to Elvis that's up there on that big red.

Google Universe is a real Google project. Developers for Google are allowed v.generous personal pet project time. There is a Google v. Microsoft Poll if you're interested.
