Google Lat Long Blog shared few features of Google Earth 5.0 which is free to download about the Martian userbase.

Live from Mars:

thanks to the THEMIS camera team at Arizona State University, you could turn on the new ‘Live from Mars’ layer and become one of the very first people to lay eyes on images taken just days or even hours ago!

Historical Maps:

The

Historical Globes layer lets you see these and other antique maps of Mars as virtual spinning globes.

Guided Tours:

If you’re not sure where to go on Mars, let Bill Nye the Science Guy and Ira Flatow of Public Radio’s Science Friday show you around. Simply go to the Mars Gallery layer, and double-click either of their tours for a narrated trip around the Martian surface. This is a great way to introduce yourself to some of the most interesting spots on the planet

Great way to explore now, our next home in few decades maybe?
