Did you know that the latest release of Google Earth is also a flight simulator?
Neither did I. Read this page to find out more about the flight sim. I for one will take the plane flying from Trondheim to Narvik and Skjomen. You can choose between a F16 and a SR22 propeller aircraft.
This page contains Flight Simulator keyboard controls. You can alos use a joystick if you have one.

Google aquired @Last Software, the producer of the simple and powerfull CAD/Design-application Sketchup some months ago. There have been speculation of what Google wanted to do wit the aplication. Now the free version of Sketchup has been released. With Skethcup for personal use it will be simple to design kitchens, gardens, etc. It can also be used to design 3-D models for use in Googles popular Google earth program.

Dette er sakset fra Makezine.
Sketchup er et enkelt 3D modelleringsverktøy hvor du enkelt kan ta ideer og overføre det til 3D-modeller. Sketchup kjører både på Windows og Mac.
If you’re looking to quickly take the thoughts in your head and turn them in to something 3D, this is it. The best way we can describe it is: it’s a 3D sketchbook for Maker types. It’s not going to replace AutoCAD, but it’ll get your stuff out in a jiffy when you’re in “fast faster to succeed sooner” mode…(it exports to DWG/DXF).
Sketchup har nå også sluppet en Plugin for Google Earth som gjøre at det nå er mulig å modellere i Google Earth. Skjermbildet under viser hva som er mulig å oppnå med Sketchup og Google Earth.
