Google Earth plugin showcase: Monster Milktruck

January 19, 2015

This is the seventh in our series showcasing the Google Earth plugin.

Today we are looking at probably the best known app built with the Google Earth plugin: The Monster Milktruck. It was developed in 2008 by Google to showcase the use of the Google Earth plugin. It even has its own Wikipedia page. We looked at it when it first came out. The original version published by Google is broken, because it uses a model from the Sketchup 3D Warehouse, which has since been sold by Google and the URLs have changed. However, we have fixed that bug and resurrected it for your enjoyment. If you have the Google Earth plugin installed and a browser that supports it, you should see the Monster Milktruck game below and be able to play.

MONSTER MILKTRUCK!
To drive: use the buttons, or keyboard arrows (with focus on page).

    Truly pathetic, that Google can not be bothered to fix a simple url issue (probably one line of code) that prevents their flagship example of dynamic animation in Google Earth from being experienced by users.
