This was sort of under the radar, but the Wall Street Journal and CNET picked up on it. Google added something I had wondered about recently: For places that have had the Street View camera go through multiple times, you now have the option (on some browsers) to see the older version of the pictures.
But that’s not all. In a browser where this option is available, Google’s little Pegman looks like…Doc Brown.
Great Scott!
The Street View car has been up and down US 63 in Traer twice, but IA 8 only once, in the early days, and the rest of the streets not at all.
This “Time Machine” is a great addition, but I also wish Google would dedicate some more time to updating its very early pass-throughs in much of the U.S. to high-definition and also hitting smaller places that haven’t been visited at all.
