It’s a fun way to do some free virtual tourism. Especially if it’s well travelled places with plenty of user content. Plus, you get to be as nosy as you want, without making people uncomfortable.
I love looking at odd architecture for example, but not everyone would appreciate me walking around their building and peering intently through the windows.
That sounds like an awesome job. As someone who loves aviation, photography and maps, I’d probably really enjoy that. How’d you get into that field if you don’t mind me asking?
I minored in GIS and needed to feed myself before going to grad school haha. Saw the advert while on Indeed. It was an underpaid production job with in house tools so they took anyone that could use a pc. Very chill though, so I didn’t mind the lower wages. A lot of that sort of thing is outsourced now.
I feel seen :D

I used to process aerial imagery and it was so good for this reason. It was like playing Geoguesser as a job.

My wife and I used to take care of her grandmother. I had a simple VR headset and I would show her parts of cities she hadn’t been to in street view.
