Video Games Google Map Games

You've seen http://maps.google.com I'm sure.

But have you ever thought of playing a wargame like Risk using the world as a board? Tracking down terrorists Carmen Sandiego style? Or how about joyriding over Tokyo, New York, or Dublin?

Here's a far from extensive collection of links and ideas for games using the google map API (application programming interface). I won't lie and say they're amazing, but some are pretty neat:

What's the must have visit? Goggles of course, the google maps "flight sim":http://www.isoma.net/games/goggles.html

 

my husband helped me stear the flight sim around disneyland, so i kinda know h ow the layout is different from disney world so i'll be somewhat prepared for when we're there in august (GO BLIZZCON >.>). it's a very neat use of the maps though. though, i'm curious as to why you can fire a gun during it?
