created issue #1

Apr 22, 2015 10:33PM

Is there a way to query a historical map using the API instead of the current map? I am using the API to study urbanization and it would help me if I can see how the city looked in say, 2000 in comparison to how it looks now.

Thank you,
Guru

Yes please :) Along with a more specific definition of how the Popular Times are determined (how much history? done by mobile device activity? check ins?)

gu...@gmail.com <gu...@gmail.com> #3Apr 23, 2015 04:32AM

Making popular times available by day of the week would be awesome

an...@gmail.com <an...@gmail.com> #4Apr 23, 2015 03:03PM

It already is Jeffrey, you can toggle by day on mobile or desktop

of...@gmail.com <of...@gmail.com> #6Apr 9, 2016 02:02PM

@r22, I think Jeff is referring to the ability to split popular times by day of week in the information released by the API, not the currently existing web GUI.

Maybe the info appears as a nested object? e.g. "popular times" > "day of week" > "hour of day" > traffic count

of...@gmail.com <of...@gmail.com> #7Apr 9, 2016 02:04PM

It would be very useful for mapping in agriculture tools.

da...@gmail.com <da...@gmail.com> #8Apr 18, 2016 04:24PM

Would be very useful for us to display different seasons in Google Maps iOS/Android SDKs!

This feature is needed for research purposes.

Would be extremely helpful to have access to this data directly via the API. Is it maybe available via another API?

fr...@googlemail.com <fr...@googlemail.com> #11Mar 27, 2017 07:16AM

No update on here for a while now... Any news on making this available ?

fr...@googlemail.com <fr...@googlemail.com> #12Mar 27, 2017 07:17AM

Sorry, one remark: Applicable to JavaScript API would be important to us.

sa...@saxon.cx <sa...@saxon.cx> #13Mar 27, 2017 07:43AM

Hi,

I just thought I'd comment on: "Supporting 1. in Static Maps API is probably the more useful FR to focus on here."

I have an app (on three platforms - using JavaScript API, Android & iOS SDKs) where users mark up features over the aerial photo images. These work for a while, but then don't line up any more when the images update. So it would be great if I could fix the images at the time that the user first saw them. I use high-resolution images (zoom level 20), so I haven't found any other sources (like Landsat) which could work as an alternative.

So for me it would be great to have option #1 for the JavaScript API, Android & iOS SDKs.

Thanks!

Great news Brett. I raised this ticket last sept. When can we expect it to be added to the places api?

ov...@plarepi.com <ov...@plarepi.com> #54Apr 17, 2021 01:33AM

As a rule, we don't discuss product road maps. I have added this as a enhancement request for the team to evaluate, but this is no guarantee that this request will be implemented.

na...@gmail.com <na...@gmail.com> #55Apr 24, 2021 01:28AM

ok thanks Brett. If it does get implemented, will we be notified here?

in...@gmail.com <in...@gmail.com> #63Apr 15, 2022 12:32PM

Do we know if there is a timeline when this would be exposed? (I see that this issue was accepted)

Does this mean that it's in a Google Product Sprint?

bi...@gmail.com <bi...@gmail.com> #64Jul 29, 2022 07:13PM

We only know that's it's been added as an enhancement request. As Brett said above (

https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=8581#c55), this is no guarantee it will be implemented, and they don't discuss product road maps externally. :(

Please make Popular Times data available per place via an API. Time granularity of "per hour" would be sufficient in a first version.
