 Travelling Abroad From Home

Global and health events due to the Coronavirus “Covid 19” imposed on us many unusual things, including staying at home for as long as possible, and there are many things that we can do during that period, including, for example, determining what is new.  Places and landmarks by physically walking in different countries.

 

  There are many services on the Internet that allow us to serve you to traveling abroad And viewing different places around the world via your phone or computer, and among these services, Google Street View is one of the most famous of these services at all, but in this post, we will learn about two sites that provide the same service but Differently.

 

  Random Street View and mapcrunch are two of the best roaming sites out there.  Before you travel to a place you have not traveled to before, you can see it for what it is, so you will not be deceived by the places you will travel to and will not appear as you expect, and here we mean the specific places and not the quality or nature of the special people of those countries

   

The method in a simplified way is to take high-resolution and high-quality images of different places with augmented reality technology and in a degree of 360 degrees to give us the convenience of moving by dragging and clicking on the destination we want or by entering the coordinates by name or searching by dragging on the map to reach the place you want as  We want to synchronize with what we see on the screen.

   But it is worth noting that these sites have limits that cannot be crossed or bypassed, for example, vital institutions.  Also, some places do not appear on these sites because they are not updated or are not of great importance to the visitor, but in a renewed way many new places are added every short period so if you are a fan of virtual roaming, follow the sites continuously.
