What's this?
This is a top down view automobile simulator on Google Maps. You can drive around the world without gas. Click the screen when the vehicle doesn't move.
To switch between km/h and mph, click the unit of speedometer.
The original version of 2D Driving Simulator is here.
Notes
- I receive many feature requests but I will rarely update this flash for a while because I'm currently working on other things.
- The maps are provided by Google's servers and this flash always displays their up-to-date images. Please do not mail (or blame) me "The map is old!" or something. Ask Google!
- As this flash relies on Google's service, this page may be closed without prior notice.
- Actually, Google stopped their Maps API support for Flash so I'm forced to rewrite this application entirely with JavaScript (so-called HTML5) within several years. Maybe I'll do it but don't expect much. It's not an easy and fun task.
Technical information
This application displays background images using Google Maps API. I wrote an entry about that for Google Geo Developers Blog (Simulating Driving on Google Maps: Using Flash for a Faster & Smoother Experience).
NOTE: Google Maps API for Flash is now deprecated.
