Google Earth's Monster Milk Truck!

One very cool little application latched onto Google Earth which I've just been made aware of is the Monster Milk Truck, an application born during the sessions of a recent Google I/O developers conference where discussions led to how applications can be developed to take advantage of the new Google Earth Plugin API.

One of the examples provided is a little game that really shows the possibilities of Google Earth plugin mashups. The game is called Monster Milktruck and can be accessed here.

Once loaded, simply use the cursor keys to drive the little 3D truck around while looking at the bottom of the page for alternate locations where you can place the truck. While it is very simple in nature it does in my opinion demonstrate in the best possible way the potential of using Google Earth (and also how far the concept has come since first being introduced), well worth checking out!
