Thus, they offer an aerial map of the place, a 3D exploration mode with relevant information that can be revealed almost as if they were clues in a game and they even provide you with a measurement tool, so that you get an even more real vision of the place. place you visit The best? You can get as close as you want to the details ...and you don't have to stand in line or jostle with anyone to get from room to room!
