You might use Google Maps to find your way, but did you know there's a site that lets you navigate the maps while driving a virtual vehicle? This surprising experience turns consulting the maps into a real adventure.
The site in question is called 3D Driving Simulator and it offers a "realistic" driving experience in a virtual world. You find yourself behind the wheel of a car or a bus that you can drive anywhere on the map of Google Maps. Whether you want to explore your neighborhood or go on an adventure across the world, this site offers you a new perspective.
Although 3D Driving Simulator is not developed by Google itself, it is created by a Japanese company called Katsuomi Kobayashi which uses the map from Google Maps. Relatively unknown to the general public, this driving simulator has undergone several updates since its creation.
Ease of use and guaranteed fun, using 3D Driving Simulator is child's play. You just need to search “3D Driving Simulator” in the Google search bar and go to the app site. You can then start your virtual adventure in just a few clicks.
Whether you're using a computer, mobile phone, or tablet, the controls are simple. On a computer, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move around. On mobile devices, a panel with arrows appears to direct your vehicle. The vehicle is seen from above and encounters no real obstacle. In other words, you simply move around on the maps of Google Maps, whether on the road or even on the roofs of buildings.
