At one point or another, we’ve all used Google’s “Street View” maps. The ability to see any landmark in the world – even your own home – whenever you want is pretty remarkable. One minute you could be looking at the streets of New York – and the next, on the other side of the world perusing European street markets.

But now, the tool has gotten even better. Google Maps has debuted an interesting twist on the Street View feature. According to Fox News website, Google’s “Street View snapshots will now include an option to see what neighborhoods and landmarks looked like at different periods in the last seven years.”

Over the past seven years, the navigational tool has used photos taken from dispatched “camera-toting cars to take street-level pictures for its maps.”

Time is reporting that the photos will allow “users to see how places have changed since Google began photographing” around the globe. And we’re pretty sure, they’ve changed quite a lot. From building renovations to pedestrian fashion choices, a lot has changed in seven years.

And to prove it, here are few examples from Time:
