For some reason historical satellite photos are available in Google Earth Pro (which is free) but not on maps.google.com or earth.google.com

- troydavis 3y agoSome of this may be Google shipping its executive incentives (as in “Don’t ship the org chart”). Another example: Google Street View is available on the web - unless you use an iPhone and enter the address directly on maps.google.com instead of google.com. On the maps hostname with an iPhone, clicking the Street View preview just shows a nag screen that it’s only available in the Google Maps app. That’s not true, so I assume that app installs is some group’s KPI.
