Fifteen years of honorable service to Google Street View, and the Mountain View Giant has decided to release some interesting updates to celebrate this anniversary on a grand scale. Both utility and pleasure are at the service of both and will in any case mark the move more than in the past.
The first feature is that Google Both the iOS app and the Android app have decided to field, making it possible to view historical images of street scenes on the phone. In 2014, the desktop version of Google Street View began allowing visualization of how locations have changed over time, but now it will eventually be possible in mobile applications as well.
To access this function, touch anywhere on the screen while in Street View mode, then select “View more dates” to access historical images of a location. Google has announced that the feature will show images from the 2007 Street View launch where it is available.

The second innovation is a newer, smaller and more portable camera, which can take 360-degree pictures to capture the street scene. In fact, Mountain View Giant has so far used large backpacks equipped with dedicated cars and cameras, called Trekker, For taking pictures of places, however, the new camera will allow the use of devices weighing only 15 pounds or less than 7 kg.
This type of camera is designed to make it easier for Google to capture Street View images in all parts of the world, so that the app can be updated more frequently. Moreover, this new method will significantly reduce costs Google Path GuideSince the camera can be applied to any type of mode of transport, without the need to purchase a dedicated way.
While Google is emphasizing the portability of the new camera, Street View hardware team leader Steven Silverman is keen to point out the benefits of taking more beautiful pictures. “The sensors have a higher quality, the sound signal from a lower signal – Silverman says – these images will be more beautiful.” The camera’s seven sensors capture panoramic views at 140-megapixel resolution, as before, and although no leader sensors were made by default, Silverman said the camera is designed to be customized so that they can be added when needed.
Street view It’s a really useful feature (how many of us have seen a place online before we go there ourselves) and a fun novelty. But for Google, having a street camera is also an effective way to improve data Google Maps. Street View images are used to add newly opened businesses to Google Maps, Improve information about business opening hours and provide speed limit information on the road.
