If you have never played with it, I'm telling ya.....it's awesome. If you have played with it, please share your favorite spots, or coolest places you have "driven" around.
I've driven around the Ferrari Factory in Marenello and the Maserati Factory in Modena
I've driven by our old house in Mill Creek Towne, outside of DC and where I lived in Alice Springs, Australia.
Around the Faroe Islands and through the countryside of the South Island of New Zealand
The walk along the Viet Nam Memorial in DC and the Pyramids of Giza
For all of the links above, you can scroll around - a panorama of you like, by putting your mouse pointer at any spot, clicking and holding and moving the mouse. You can scroll out and see the area from above, and scroll way out and see the satellite shots. You can move along the ground, following the track the camera car made by clicking ahead of you on the street or path.
There are plenty of places that aren't photographed, but the amount of ground they HAVE covered is frankly, astounding.
