Google Maps has a lot to discover, but you don’t always know where to see. This is great if you are trying to drive in a crowded city or find out which local coffee shop has the best ranking seeds, but there are less well -known features that are worth investigating. These include a historical scenario on Google Street View.

Google Maps actually makes it easy to switch between different times. On one of the desktops or mobiles, you can go back when Google Street Viewers first began patrolling the streets – in some areas, you can return to 2007 – and see how roads and places look years ago.

So whether you have a practical purpose or just want to travel old memories, how to go about. These instructions apply to the latest version of Google Maps WebFor, for, for,. AndroidAnd iOS.

Street View image dates appear as options at the bottom of the screen.

If you are using Google Maps in the desktop browser, you can click anywhere on the map and go to Street View where Street View is available (which is mostly roads and famous marks), then click on Street Wave Panel at the bottom. (It will look like a small square picture that has curved arrows.)

Alternatively, select a specific destination on the map, such as a bar or park, to bring its information panel – then either click on the same Street Wave Panel or click in the bottom Street View and 360 ° In the photo gallery on popup. Both methods take you to one place.

  • If the historic Street View imagery is available (and it’s not everywhere), find out, find See more dates Link in the address box in the upper left.
  • Select this link to display a series of thumbnams at the bottom of the screen with all available dates. Scroll right to look at the oldest.
  • From then, click on any thumbnail to see the Street View photos. Click on the pictures and drag yourself to look around.
  • You can still rotate as usual by clicking on the arrows on Street View images. If you visit a place where there is no old scenario, you will be taken back to recent photos.
  • If you want to wander any faster, you can click inside the mini map (down left) and then click again to a specific point to jump to this place. Street view coverage areas have been marked in blue.

If you are using Google Map on Android or iOS, then you have found two ways to jump on the Street View: You can tap and catch any places on the map, and if a street view is available for it, a street view of a street view appears in the lower left corner of the map. (You can find the same image at the bottom half of the screen, depending on how your Google Maps version is arranged.) In any way, tap it to get to the Street View.

You can also tap in the name of the Labed Label Labed Place to bring its Information Card, then select Photos And Street View and 360 ° (If it appears) Going to the Street View and starting to look around.

  • Tap on the screen to look around and drag or tap any of the screen arrows in which you revolve around the place.
  • As on the desktop, if you go to a place that does not have old pictures, you will be taken back to the current imagery.
