Have you ever wondered when Google Maps last updated its satellite images? Do large satellite dishes still work? The answer lies between the ages of 1 and 3 years, with some imagery being much older.

Google Maps does not have a time travel feature that allows users to see their location history from the past. However, there are ways to access older Street View imagery on Google Maps. To do this, click on the clock icon in the upper left hand corner of Street View. This will allow you to view some older imagery.

For those interested in exploring older satellite images, Google Earth is an excellent option. With Google Earth, users can see how images have changed over time by viewing past versions of a map on a timeline. To do this, open Google Earth and locate a location. Click on the 'View Historical Imagery' or 'Time' above the 3D viewer to access older imagery.

In addition to Google Maps, Google Earth also allows users to view old images from specific locations. Simply type in a location into the search bar, and then click on the 'View Historical Imagery' button to see past versions of the map.

Unfortunately, it's extremely unlikely that you'll be able to locate what you're looking for by going back in time using Google Maps or Google Earth. However, it's still worth exploring these features to learn more about your location history and how images have changed over time.

To access your location history on Google Maps, follow these steps:

1. Launch Google Maps

2. Tap the more button (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner

3. Select 'Location History'

Alternatively, you can tap your timeline to see a specific day, or click on a date to view your location history.

In conclusion, while Google Maps and Google Earth do not offer time travel features, they do provide users with access to older satellite images and location history. By following the steps outlined above, you can explore these features and learn more about how images have changed over time.
