New Hacking Historic Street View


Yesterday Google Maps began to roll-out to users the selection to sentiment historic Street View images. These are the Street View images which get got been updated yesteryear to a greater extent than recent imagery.

My kickoff idea on hearing the proclamation was 'I wonder how tardily that volition last to hack'. Well a dyad of hours agone the historic Street View selection appeared on my version of Google Maps together with it turns out to last rattling tardily to hack.


All you lot ask to produce to instruct the historic Street View imagery is accept the panoID together with top into a Street View element. I've created a quick demo which automatically rotates through 7 of the occasions when Google has driven yesteryear the Freedom Tower inward New York. Using the Historic Street View demo you lot tin sentiment the structure of the Freedom Tower, equally captured yesteryear Google Maps Street View over 4 years.

To rank the user closed to command over the appointment of the Street View picture shown I should belike get got used a slide command rather than animate through the Street View images. However an animated slideshow was quicker to throw together.

Historic Street View imagery has non all the same been added to the Google Maps API then it is belike non possible all the same to access historic Street View images programatically. This agency that for instantly if you lot desire to hack the imagery you lot volition ask to catch the panoID of each assort Street View image, equally I did for this demo.
