Goggles – The Google Maps flight simulator

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.

    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!

    Hi there. Excellent layout you have got there. I am just struggling to find a new theme for my own blog – where did you pick up this design? is it free or paid? Cheers.
