- Google Earth is celebrating its 20-year anniversary by adding two features.
- Users will now be able to access historical street view from Google Earth.
- The other feature will provide AI-driven insights about the planet.
YouTube isn’t the only one celebrating its 20-year anniversary; Google Earth has been around for just as long. To celebrate the two-decade milestone, Google Earth is getting a feature for viewing the past and another that will provide insights about the planet.
Back in 2014, Google rolled out a feature called historical street view in Maps for desktop. This feature gathers street views from past collections to show you how a place has changed over the years. While it has long been a staple for Maps, the company has announced that this feature is now also available on Google Earth. The video below shows an example of how the city of Houston has changed over the years.
