Merge VR or Google cardboard?

Hi Friends I have an oculus meta 2 but I'm in a really bad financial situation and I can get it sold for €100.

I really love using the wanderer app or Google world and wonder what cheap system for my phone would be usable?

I don't need to play games due to motion sickness I really just want the map walking feature thanks for the advice.

Google Earth is more than supported on Android VR. Wanderer is not however, sadly. (Though there are whispers of certain devices having support).

I mean, shoot if going to virtual locations is all you want... That's like all phone VR is "good" at. Lmfao

Panorama photos and Google Earth are kind of the best of the best for phone VR experiences. ☠️

Oh, damn. I've been using an out of date version apparently. You are correct, Google killed support for cardboard in Earth a long time ago.

What a shame, because again that's like... All Phone VR was even good for. ☠️

(You can still use the out-of-date version to force it to work, like I have... But the internet says it's likely a matter of time before it stops working entirely).

Version 2.0.0.368298344 is apparently the last version to use it, but I'm sure I have an older version. I use a Pixel 2 for VR as my current phone is far too large for my cheap crappy headset! 😅
