Google Earth adds Street View upgrade that lets you travel in time

Google Earth got a Street View feature that effectively lets users travel through time.

The tech giant announced this week that it was bringing historical Street View imagery to Google Earth, which lets folks look back at past pictures of the world. It’s a welcome, neat update for Google Earth’s 20th anniversary, and it was previously available only on Google Maps. Google also added a tool that lets users look at historical satellite imagery.

“Today, we’re celebrating this milestone birthday by bringing historical Street View imagery to Google Earth,” the company wrote in a blog post. “Now you can explore the wonders of the planet from even more viewpoints, whether it’s a bird’s eye view or at street level.”
