He’s been at it again, our David has produced what I think is a great demonstration of a browser bassed Google Earth & Google Maps (within Flash) mashup.

So please start your engines and get ready to make your own sound effects as you taz around a city of your choosing.

NB UPDATE
As it turns out, thanks to Googles servers not having a cross-domain policy file, it is not possible to analyse the image data returned by the Googls Maps API. As a result the detection method used to determine if the car is on a road doesnt work online.

We hope at some stage to either resolve this, or make a downloadable version.
