A feature available in Google Street View has been used for viewing images of streets or landscapes for over 15 years.
Who hasn’t dreamed of going back in time like Marty McFly in his DeLorean? If this is your case, note that a feature integrated into Google Street View gives you the opportunity to accomplish this feat without taking your eyes off your screen.
Since integrating this virtual navigation service into Google Maps in 2007, the Mountain View company has been mapping the entire world by storing a history of images captured by its cars.
More than 15 years of archives can be consulted from your web browser, for example, the evolution of a district and the effects of time on it, between businesses or renovations. Accessing this feature is very easy. Here’s how.
- Open Google Maps in your web browser
- Enter the address in the search bar
- Click the circular arrow icon in the “Photos” section
- Select “See more dates”.
- Scroll through photos by date
