VR Traveling Apps and Games
Since I am an owner of a Quest 3, I really like the kind of app, that let me use map data and panoramas to see the world in VR. So I will try to create a list containing as much of these apps as possible.
Most of it will be either Meta Quest based apps or PCVR apps. A few Android Apps will be added too, if it is working on my Quest.
And if it is missing here on AlternativeTo, I will add it too.
I will talk about games from now on, because the "usability" for this kind of app is most likely being a game.
Also, I will add games I don't own / recommend. This will maybe be stated in the comment per game, maybe not.
The comment is my subjective feeling and opinion about the game! Don't take it as granted. If I have tried the game, maybe it was an older version. Maybe I haven't even tested the game.
For now, I will only add games that feature real world graphics, in one way or the other.
All Google Earth provider games are no-brainers. Something like Brink Traveler too. But games like Astra, complete renderings, I am not adding.










Comments and Reviews
Using the Quest in standalone is not possible with Google Earth VR. Here comes EarthQuest into play: EarthQuest is a standalone Quest app, allowing a similar experience as with Google Earth VR.
In my opinion, EarthQuest is even better in many ways. It is standalone, it has higher resolution, the flying is very nice to use. It is not as polished as GEarth ... But the developer is very active and tries to fulfill request by users on his discord.
I purchased the game while it was still 5-6$ and don't regret it. I have also purchased the additional In-App-Purchase for the AI voice chat (again 5-6$). Even if I rarely use the AI (navigating, teleporting, asking for info about the location), I don't regret buying it. At that time $12 was very well invested in a young and motivated developer.
The best thing about this app: You can add your own Google Cloud API for map data. The dev provides a public API, but it can happen to be limited due to usage. Personal API is free below $200 per month. I rarly reach 30$. So even if the developer quits the app, it still can be used.
Is the best alternative to google earth on Meta Quest, it's even better, the controls are so intuitive that you can pretend to be superman and fly over the world
