Google Earth Turns 20: Time Travel Feature Arrives

Google Earth is celebrating its 20th anniversary with exciting updates. Users can now 'time travel' with integrated historical Street View imagery, revisiting locations as they appeared in the past. Pro users will also gain access to new AI-driven insights. Inspired by a social media trend of sharing historical location images, this update adds historical Street View images to Google Earth and enhances its 3D timelapse feature, showcasing how areas have changed over time. From its clunky desktop beginnings to its web, mobile, and Pro desktop applications today, Google Earth has come a long way.
