I was an international driver before I moved here 3.5y ago and really miss some places I spend lots of time ,like Strassbourg in France so I had a look on google earth and I could actually see the building and the trucks and stuff,it felt like I really been when I woke up next day ,I think its brilliant and play with it a lot
You can actually tilt the picture so you can look at the buildings ,hills woods etc from a side-view ,not only from top, its really cool ! (like Snow said lol)
