Google Maps Driving Simulator Lets You 'Drive' Anywhere

[AceNik]

This top-down Google Maps-based driving simulator is one step closer to our ultimate dream: simulated driving on any street, anywhere, based on data available from Google Maps/Google Earth. Geoquake's 2D Flash version may be really simple—you only have a choice of four vehicles and there's no actual collision detection—but it's got the right idea. When someone can take in street data and feed it into a 3D driving engine so we can simulate a trip to the Grand Canyon without leaving our desks, that's when we'll know the future has arrived.

Cool, but it would be nicer to have something like driving with Google Street View

Well that kept me occupied for about half an hour.

Hmm, I enjoyed driving over the median, other cars and the "We're sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region" messages . Love doing something I'd normally not be allowed to do.

But actually driving in Manhattan is easier than trying to drive in Manhattan in this game. Now Boston on the other hand... ;)

This one's pretty good but I found one a while ago where you could only drive on the roads. Can't remember where it was now, I'll post it if I find it.

This is great. I spent a few minutes flying around Toronto. (where I live) I flew down for a closer look around the dome and the CN Tower and crashed. OOOPS.

I recommend this.
