Armchair travelers enjoy virtual walks but want more structure than random browsing. Pre-made tours could offer themed routes with historical or cultural narration.

Package tours as mobile-friendly web apps combining Street View, photos, and audio. Sell individual routes or subscriptions.

Begin with simple PDF guides of notable locations. Progress to interactive maps with auto-advancing views.

Charging for content people can technically access for free is challenging. Focus on exceptional curation.
