I’ve been tooling around Google Earth for the last couple of days while following the 2007 Round-The-World Flight Simulator Race and would love a better way to fly around the application when I remembered my visit with Logitech at CES. 3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, has an award-winning 3D navigation devices that unlocks the power of 3D applications.
Whether flying through three-dimensional worlds or manipulating 3D objects, users can easily move in the 3D world by avoiding repetitive mouse clicks to perform simple navigation tasks.

Simply push, pull, tilt and twist the controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D imagery with over 100 of today´s most popular and powerful 3D applications for visualization and design including, Google Earth™, Google SketchUp™, Autodesk Inventor®, SolidWorks®, Autodesk® Maya® and many, many more.

I was able to pick up the feel of the 3Dconnexion device within seconds and fly around Google Earth and I’m not known as the most coordinated of people.
