Google Streetview, How old ?

mart.vader

Hi,
Just a quicky, does anyone know how old a streetview image might be in outer London ? 6 months ? a year ?

If your on a laptop/desktop at the bottom of the screen it shows the month/year it was filmed/photographed. the date doesnt show on my phone so not sure if its the same on a tablet

It might say in the image data somewhere on the screen but greater London is likely to be rescanned every couple of years or so I guess. Best way is to think of recent changes (doors painted, schools closed, whatever) and see if you can date from that

My urban area in the provinces shows "Image Date: October 2012".

Most of London seems to be 2012, the bike mapped parts are a bit older but some outer parts are showing as old as 2008.

Sometimes on the same street images can be months or years apart so it's not really possible to say

Thanks Guys, you're right. On the screen on my bit, it says "image date May 2012"
