Fly through Google Maps



From Kim Komando's "Today's Cool Site" (www.komando.com)

I'm a big fan of Google's mapping site. It's a great way to find driving directions and the location of businesses.

But, the real draw for me is the satellite imagery. You can zoom in on countries and cities all over the globe.

Fortunately for us, Google lets other sites use its mapping software, along with its satellite images. Take Goggles, for example. It's a flight simulation game.

It may be simple in its design – there aren't a lot of complicated controls. But it is fun to fly a plane over London, the moon or even Mars.

I had a lot of fun exploring cities across the world by taking an aerial tour. I'm sure you'll find this game as fun as I did!
