There's also the "Historical Imagery" feature in the downloaded version of Google Earth ("Google Earth Pro") which has even more detail. I get that there's some benefit to making it more visible as a feature in the browser version of Google Earth though.
- ryankrage77 6y agoWhat's up with the image quality over the years? Looking at my home in the UK, it's a blur in 1985, then the next image in 2003 is fairly sharp. The image quality is consistent/slightly improves from 2003 until 2014, and then from 2014 - 2017 it's a blur again. 2018 is the sharpest of all the historical images, better even than 2020.
- Nition 6y agoYou mean in the Historical Imagery thing? Sometimes the "blur" is just taking a long time to load, and if you wait longer it'll become sharp. Other times it's just a blurry image. Some are better than others.
