Goggles the Google Maps flight simulator

Created by Flash games developer Mark Caswell-Daniels, Goggles is a brilliant browser-based flight simulator built using Google Maps images and Flash technology. In the game, users are able to fly a top-down 3d biplane rendering through major cities around the world, such as New York City, San Francisco, Tokyo, London and even the Planet Mars, using images captured from Google Mapping services. The developer seems to have gotten a little flack from people concerned about the games’ ability to allow ‘terrorists’ to crash the plane into buildings, but, common sense hopefully prevails and people see it for what it is, a fun an innovative use of web technology to create a neat little casual flight sim.

    You definitely know what you are talking about. Dude, this journal is truly excellent! I cant wait to look over much more of what you have got to state. Im really glad that I found this when I did because I was truly starting to become bored with the overall blogging scene. Youve turned me around, man!
