Time travel guide right on Google Earth

Google Earth has also updated the time travel feature, going back in time to a certain location to see how it has changed. Basically, we just need to enter the location we want to see in the Google Earth search bar, then select historical images according to the timeline. Below are instructions for viewing the history of a location on Google Earth.

How to View Location History on Google Earth

Step 1:

First you also need to access Google Earth on your computer, then we also enter the location in the search bar to display on the Google Earth map.

Step 2:

The location you found is marked on the map. Next, tap the person icon at the bottom right of the screen to view the Google Earth map in Street view .

Step 3:

On the toolbar, click View and select Show historical images to see locations in previous stages.

Now you will see the time bar for us to choose. You click on a time period you want to see to see the whole scene of the space. This option will show the whole scene on the map around the location you choose.

Step 4:

A 360-degree view of the location is then displayed on Google Earth. While viewing, you can move the panorama to see other locations.

Right in the viewing interface you can also view historical images, click View other days . Then we also choose the previous time to view . Note to you, not all locations on Google Earth have date options.

The results also show you images of the location from previous years.
