…and if you want to see that version full-screen instead, click on its thumbnail in the box to expand it out to the size of your window. Select one of the pips to see the thumbnail of the archived version… Then Google Maps should drop you into Street View, but the magic is this: If an archive of captures is available for your location, you’ll see a small clock appear after a moment or two on the controls at the upper-left corner:Ĭlick the clock, and you’ll get a timeline with white pips indicating the available archived captures. Pick him up and drag him onto your map where you’d like to check out the Street View, as I’m doing here. When you do that, you’ll see Google’s so-called Pegman down near the bottom of your window. When you get there, type in the address or business you’d like to view within the search box, like so: Start by opening the browser of your choice and visiting.
No offense, Google, but you know my joke hits the mark there, right? In any case, here’s what you’ll do to check this out! But because it’s Google, this is all controlled through a really teeny non-obvious button. So you can see what a place looked like in 2008, say, and then watch its growth over the years. Still, there’s a little-known feature of Street View that I think is really cool to this day-it’ll let you view the archives (if any) of the Street View captures for an area. For example, as of writing, you can track current hurricanes and tropical storms.Remember back in the day when we all were really excited by Google’s Street View? Yeah, that was a long time ago in tech years, wasn’t it? Maybe we can all party like it’s 2009. Though, you can switch on other layers related to the climatological shifts on Earth. We couldn't spot the layers in Google Earth for Web's Voyager feature. Real-time data for temperature, wind speed, and precipitation data was supplied by The Weather Company (an IBM subsidiary). Till 2018, you could also switch on the weather layers on Google Earth Web, Android, and iOS. Unfortunately, this is due to changes in the third-party data feeds that we're unable to fix. You may have noticed that the "Conditions and Forecast" and "Ocean Observations" in the Weather layer folder haven't received updates in awhile.
The Google Earth Weather "Radar" layer was also removed for the same reason. Why Live Weather Forecasts on Google Earth Disappeared?Įarlier, you could keep an eye on the current weather while using Google Earth like a live radar but that feature had been dropped in 2017 because of sketchiness with the third-party weather feeds.
