If you've chosen a location that doesn't have the time function, it's possible Google doesn't have older images available in its archive. Move the bar forward and backward to see photos of that specific destination throughout the years. Once you've accessed the interactive street view of your location, look in the upper left hand corner of the screen and you'll see a small clock symbol next to a date.Ĭlick on the clock and a slide-bar will appear with available years listed. In the lower right hand corner, click on the person icon and move it onto the map to access the latest street-level photo of the area. Once you've entered the address of your chosen destination, Google will populate a road map of the area.

Open Google Maps and type in the address you're interested in viewing-it can be as simple as the location of your childhood home or something as exciting as the Trevi Fountain in Italy.
