Now you can save your own tours in the Gaiagi Driver. Just click on "Save" in the tour interface and the tour will be saved with the name you give it.
You can find your own tours in the "Tour" menu on top of the default tours.

Menus are now overlaying on Google Earth, Street View, etc. which reduces changes in the GUI. Menus like "Config", "Tour", ... are draggable now as well.
A new tour was added for the beach of Ipanema in Rio as Brazil now has Street View as well - enjoy the new sights and drive save ;-) |
