First, to keep from having to spend $40 for an app that is not simple upfront,
try SoundScape, by Microsoft. It is free.
I’ll post the app store link below and I encourage reading the full
description. However, here is a brief explanation of how to get to the Street
Preview feature.
IN the top left of the screen is the menu, flick right once to Sleep button,
once more to the search field.
Enter your son’s address.
Flick right to the results and double tap on the one that matches.
Flick right until you get to SoundScape Street Preview and double tap.
This app works in stereo, so best to have stereo headphones on or speakers
connected with some separation. If one can wear bone conduction headphones or
headphones that allow you to hear your surroundings, it is great for real life
travel.
After it loads the data.
The direction your phone is pointing will determine which way you are virtually
facing and therefore turning.
Turn your phone to find available streets. Once you want to go down a street
to the next intersection double tap go.
There is an explore nearby button, double tap that, then you can pick all
places or specific categories to get information about what is around,
It takes some playing with , but it is a truly impressive app, especially for
free.
App store link:

The only other one I know of that has good simulation of a location is
BlindSquare, $39.99
I think it is more complicated but has some very useful features.

Subject: exploring a virtual location
Hi list,
I have an iPhone SE 2020 with the latest software. I would like to use it to
explore a virtual location. I live in Duluth, MN, my son is buying a house near
where he teaches in Chicago. I’m wondering what would be an easy way to do a
virtual explore of his new neighborhood. If I don’t have the right ap I can get
it. Simple and user friendly is always best of course.
Thanks,
Joe Thibault
