When Google Maps Meets SimCity

While Google Maps is pretty useful at the moment – especially Street View – we can’t help but look at this Chinese map of Hong Kong and wish that, instead of “Street View”, we could instead have “SimCity View”.

This map is real (though not provided by Google), and accurate, and can be used to plot your course or find landmarks as easily as you can on Google Maps (it helps that the UI mimick Google’s service). Now all it needs is a rampaging UFO and a view of its boring waterpipe network and we’re good to go!
