Have just noticed much of North India has been updated on Google Earth

The Kullu and Parvati Valleys there in much better detail along with Shimla - plus Gangtok in the West.

If anyone wasn't aware there is a new version of Google Earth to download with new control options, making it even easier to pretend you are Superman.  :giggle:

Don't forget the hidden flight simulator in Google Earth. Press Ctrl + Alt + A for Windows or + Option + A for Mac.

You can then pick an F16 jet or a Cessna.

Bags of fun!

Don't you just love the internet?  :giggle:
