The idea to use Google map data for a game came to the people at Dinther Product Design almost 2 years ago. Since the release of the Google Earth plugin and it's versatile programmers interface it became feasible to write a comprehensive application using Google Map data.
"Ships" is a case study / technology showpiece that demonstrates what can be achieved with Google Earth. While map data has a tremendous value for practical purposes, it can also be used as a backdrop for a range of games. In this ship simulation game you get to be the helmsman of your own fleet of ships. Although it is a case study, you will find "Ships" entertaining as it will take you past the worlds incredible scenery at a leisurely pace. All you need to play ships is a small Google Earth plugin.
