The US-based technology giant Google introduced the Google Street View service to users 15 years ago, namely in 2007. Street View, which appeared as an extension of the Google Maps application, allowed us to travel around the world from where we sit. Users were able to access this service via the mobile application or web version and view the street images recorded by Google step by step. Google has now announced a very important innovation for the 15th anniversary of this feature.
According to the statements made by Google, iOS and Android users will now be able to view the past years of a place in Street View. Actually, this feature has been available in the desktop web version for a while. But now the scope of this feature has been expanded. You will now be able to see how the street image of a place you are curious about has changed since 2007, from your smartphone.
This is how the new feature of Google Street View will be used
Google, in its explanations regarding the new feature it has created, uses past dates. He also explained how to get there. According to the company’s statements, if you want to use this feature, you will need to open Street View on your smartphone and start viewing a place, then tap on “See more history”. This touch will allow you to instantly access the images of that region from the past years. Once you have determined which date you want to go to, simply tap on that date.
This isn’t the only innovation Google has prepared for Street View’s 15th anniversary. According to the statements made, the cameras that will take the street view have also been updated. The new cameras are much smaller and portable than the old ones. This means that Google no longer only needs cars. The new cameras, which can capture photos with a resolution of 140 MP, seem to allow the capture of street views of places that have not been reached until now.
