Planning a road trip to somewhere you've never been, and wondering what the scenery would be like? Now you can find out with Google Earth Driving Simulator, a browser based simulator built on top of the Google Earth browser plugin.
You can't actually drive yourself but the map shows you how to drive. Just enter a starting location and a destination. Click on go, then go to the simulator panel and hit 'start.' You can adjust your speed but driving slow will show high resolution imagery and 3D buildings.
