# You can now fly around the world in Google Earth from the comfort of your browser

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Google Earth has added a free, browser-based flight simulator accessible directly from its website. Users can navigate to Tools > Flight Simulator in Google Earth on the web to fly over real-world terrain using Google's extensive landscape and 3D building data. The feature uses simplified flight physics designed for casual exploration rather than realistic aerodynamic simulation, and streams 3D imagery dynamically as you fly. It is web-only and may experience loading delays at high speeds or on low-bandwidth connections. It is not intended to compete with Microsoft Flight Simulator but offers a quick, free way to explore locations from the air.
