    Goggles: Flight Sim and Google Maps Mash Up

    Goggles takes map data from Google Maps, overlaying a little biplane over it. It's not really a mapping tool, as much as it is a game. Pull back to zoom out, divebomb to zoom in, being careful not to crash into the ground. Hitting the spacebar makes your plane fire, but there's nothing to shoot at, yet. Alright, so that means its not really a game. But it's a nice way to explore a city from your desk. TGIF!– Brian Lam
