Title: Programs/Downloads
Post by: Brock Arifovic on January 22, 2011, 07:59:28 AM

I was wondering if anyone knows of a program or download to give/show detailed information & structure of the ocean floor. eg: sea mounts, depths, bommies, underwater canyons and grottos etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Brock depending on what area you want there are several companies selling the info from Government to private agency.
You can get many different types satellite to to ocean floor depends on what you want to use it for like navigation or just a visual reference.
Some vessels use the attached program, I have also used, fantastic continually updates your mapping as you drive over the fishing grounds.

Brock, you could try Google Ocean plug in for Google earth. It does at the moment have its limitations but has potential as a great tool. Worth keeping an eye on when they update it.
