Google's fleet of Street View vehicles have been flying around popular cities and tiny neighborhoods across the world for over a decade now, capturing photos of homes, parks, buildings and pretty much everything else you can see from the street. As its technology has advanced, Google has since retraced its steps, capturing higher quality images of the same places to make Google Maps even better.

In fact, if you go into Google Maps right now and use the Street View feature on your home, for example, you should see a pretty recent image, probably from the last year or so. However, that isn't the only image that exists of where you live. 

> Google Maps stores every image taken of that location, dating back to 2007 -- you just need to know how to find them.

Interested in seeing what your home looked like over a decade ago? We'll show you how to use Google Map's time-travel feature on your phone and desktop.
