There is much to explore on Google Maps, but you may not always know where to look for. It is great if you are trying to drive through a city full of people or discover which local cafeteria has the best qualified bars, but there are also other less known features that are worth investigating. These include historical images on Google Street View.
Google Maps actually facilitates the change between different periods of time. In desk or mobile devices, you can return to when Google Street View cars began to patrol the streets, in some areas, you can return until 2007, and see how the roads were seen and the places ago.
So, whether I have a practical purpose or simply want to make a nostalgia trip, this is how to do it. These instructions apply to the latest versions of Google Maps for the web, Androidand iOS.
If you are using Google Maps in a desktop browser, you can reach Street View by clicking anywhere on the map where Street View is available (which is most famous roads and reference points), then clicking on the Street view panel at the bottom. (It will look like a small square photo with a curved arrow).
Alternatively, select a specific destination on the map, such as a bar or park, so that your information panel appears, then click on the same Street view panel at the bottom or click Street view and 360 ° In the photo gallery in the emerging window. Both methods take it to the same place.
- If the historical images of Street View are available (and are not everywhere), look for a See more dates Link in the address box in the upper left.
- Select this link to show a series of miniatures along the bottom of the screen, labeled with all available dates. Move directly to see the oldest.
- Click any miniature to see Street View images since that time. Click and drag the images themselves to look around.
- You can still move as normal by clicking on the arrows in Street View images. If you sail to a place where there are no older images, they will take you back to the most recent photos.
- If you want to move faster, you can click on the mini map (down to the left) and then click on a specific point to jump into that place. The areas with coverage of street views are marked in blue.
- Click See the last date (Above left) to return to the most recent images in the Street View database.
If you are using Google Maps on Android or iOS, you again have two ways to jump to Street View: you can play and keep anywhere on the map, and if Street View images are available for it, a photo of Street View appears in the lower corner of the left of the map. (You can also get the same photo in the lower half of the screen, depending on how its Google Maps version is configured). Either way, touch that to get to Street View.
You can also touch a place name labeled to mention your information card, then choose Photos and Street view and 360 ° (If it seems) to get to Street View and start looking around.
- If the images of other dates are available, you get a See more dates Link at the bottom of the screen. Touch this to see the same selection of miniatures as on the computer, labeled with the month and year. Touch any miniature to jump.
- Touch and drag on the screen to look around or touch any of the arrows on the screen to navigate the location in which it is located.
- As on the desktop, if you move to a place that has no older photos, you will return to the most recent images.
- You can also return to the last photos playing the most left miniature in the selection of dates or playing the unknown In the upper left corner.
Historical satellite images on Google Earth
You can also explore historical satellite images using Google Earth. You can use it in the web or obtain applications to Android and iOS.
In the web interface, click on the Activate historical images button on the upper toolbar. (It looks like a balloon with an arrow around it). Then get an image line available for the region you are seeing: simply click a year to go back in time. You can also change Historical image to Timelapse Using the button in the upper left of the screen and choose how quickly you want time to wash it.
With mobile applications, play the layer button (two squares, top right), then activate Historical images. A emerging window at the bottom of the screen will show the same timeline as it is put on the desk, and can travel back and forth over time by dragging your finger along the timeline. If you want to make a period of time, look for the icon that shows a round arrow back at the top of the emerging window.
Satellite images date back to the 1970s in some parts of the world, but, of course, as you advance over time, image resolutions will become lower and lower, depending on the available satellite technology that year.
