While away the long Bank Holiday with Goggles

August 27, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_10 Go on, admit it. Many of us don't know what to do when we're forced to take long holidays from work. There's only so much shopping, wandering around town and tidying up we can put up with. Work to many is like a fixed routine and, take someone out of the routine, and they're like a fish out of water.

Luckily you've now got an excuse to use your computer at home. Goggles is an interesting 'flight sim' (a term used loosely) that takes the Google Maps and turns them in to an interactive experience. You can fly over London, New York and many other sights and swoop down for a closer look. If you're prepared to do some groundwork, you can even use your local Google Map and link this to Goggles, so you fly over your hometown.

Due to the interest shown in Goggles the site can take a while to load. Even so, give the flight sim a go.
