>>3408You can visit random places, but not nearly as many as before There's still street view of course, but when you go into rural places or less developed countries….forget seeing much. Try zooming in on some part of Northern or central Africa. Six years ago you would find all kinds of photographs by volunteer photographers and tourists who went to mountains or cool places and uploaded their photos with GPS coordinates. Every part of the Earth had some pictures.
That's mostly gone now because they did a reboot. Except for the centralized pictures around hotels and hot springs, etc, you won't find nearly as accurate pictures of how places truly look. You just have the businesses' curated pictures now.
