Google Maps' Street View is When in Street View mode, users can access the historical imagery by first tapping anywhere on the photo to see information about the location, and then selecting "see more dates" to access the current location's historical imagery. Google says the feature can show imagery dating all the way back to the launch of Street View in 2007, albeit in locations where it was available at the time. The ability to display historical imagery has been available on the desktop version of Google Maps since 2014, but this is its debut on the mobile app. Coinciding with Street View's 15th anniversary, Google has also announced that it will deploy a new camera next year to capture more high-quality images in harder to reach places. In addition to our Street View car and trekker, we're piloting a new camera that will fully roll out next year to help us collect high-quality images in more places. This new camera takes all the power, resolution and processing capabilities that we've built into an entire Street View car, and shrinks it down into an ultra-transportable camera system that's roughly the size of a house cat. But unlike house cats, it's ready to be taken to remote islands, up to the tops of mountains or on a stroll through your local town square. Google says the new camera weighs less than 15 pounds, allowing it to be shipped anywhere, and it's designed to be modular so that components like lidar can be added to collect imagery with even more helpful deta...

• Living You Can Now Use Google Maps' Street View to Travel Back in Time—Here's How to Use the Interactive Feature Whether you want to view early iterations of your childhood home or experience New York City's Times Square as it was when you visited in the 2010s, the function can be used to see street-level views from over a decade ago. • Open Google Maps and type in the address you're interested in viewing—it can be as simple as the location of your childhood home or something as exciting as the Trevi Fountain in Italy. • Once you've entered the address of your chosen destination, Google will populate a road map of the area. • In the lower right hand corner, click on the person icon and move it onto the map to access the latest street-level photo of the area. • Now, you're ready to time travel. Once you've accessed the interactive street view of your location, look in the upper left hand corner of the screen and you'll see a small clock symbol next to a date. • Click on the clock and a slide-bar will appear with available years listed. Move the bar forward and backward to see photos of that specific destination throughout the years. If you've chosen a location that doesn't have the time function, it's possible Google doesn't have older images available in its archive. For this reason, the tool works best for viewing areas that receive high foot traffic—such as Times Square in New York City—as they are more regularly photographed by Google.
