So if your not a code-savvy then it's better to wait till Google officially announce something about this feature. Whew, that is surely a lot of time.Īlso if you want to try the feature, you must have a deeply rooted phone and have to make some manual changes and modify the app preferences or other terminal commands. Google Earth Engine combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities and makes it available for scientists, researchers, and developers to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface.

Up till now, the feature can show the past in aerial view till 1984 in some regions and up to 1930s or 1940 in some countries, but the team at Google is trying to make it take you further back, maybe an 80 year period, along with the 3D view, street view and much more. Just open the Google Earth app on your Android smartphone because Google is conducting experiments for a time-lapse mode for time-traveling which will show you the historical data through which you can see in the past.īut the feature is hidden for now and a developer named Kyler discovered it through some experimental settings. Now, this is very exciting news for all the time travel lovers, if you want to go back to the olden times and see where and how your forefathers lived.
