# Panoramas

### Viewing panoramas

{% columns %}
{% column width="58.333333333333336%" %}
Hovering over a [<mark style="color:pink;">**place**</mark>](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] shows the available capture dates.&#x20;

If multiple panoramas exist for that location, all capture dates are listed. Click a specific date to open that version directly.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column width="41.666666666666664%" %}
![](/files/UxKh2JwoX5Q4DRSs0q20)
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

Click any <mark style="color:pink;">**place**</mark> to open the <mark style="color:blue;">**panorama**</mark> for that location. The panorama viewer will open full screen, replacing the map.

To return to the main map, click the back button (<img src="/files/DRZJeG1tKQ4Vbu0Bqsrp" alt="" data-size="line">)

{% hint style="info" icon="lightbulb" %}
To navigate to another panorama without leaving the viewer, use the mini-map. It displays nearby places and lets you click directly into any of them.

{% endhint %}

### Compare Capture Dates Over Time

Time series comparison lets you review the same location across different capture dates.

If multiple captures exist for a location, a time button (<img src="/files/RmonLk0UJGBJPYvMkta6" alt="" data-size="line">) will appear in the panorama viewer. Click it to see all available capture dates alongside a preview of each.

Select any date to switch to that capture. The viewer preserves your current position and zoom level, so you can compare the same view across different points in time without any manual adjustment.

[^1]: Places are the pink dots on the map that mark panorama capture locations.
