What percentage of Earth has never been mapped by humans?

About 20 percent of the seafloor

Background

About 20 percent of the seafloor has not been mapped in high detail. The rest was slowly measured by ships using sonar. We have sharper maps of Mars than of the deep sea. So under water there is still a lot new to discover.
