Press the shutter and photos taken at that spot, years ago, gather around you. Where you are standing right now, or anywhere on Earth you pick on the map. They arrive on a corkboard, one at a time. Tap one to see the year it was taken, where it came from, and how far it is from where you stand. Keep the ones you like in color-coded albums. ■ B mode — shoot where you are Point the camera, press the shutter. Old photos from the surrounding area gather. ■ P mode — go to another era, another place Choose a decade with the slider and a location on the map. Everest, or the town you grew up in. ■ What you can do - Collect old photos near you with the shutter - Browse them on a corkboard, tap to enlarge - See the year, the source, and the distance - Save to color-coded albums - Export to your Photos library ■ About the photos Photos come from public archives around the world. Cities and historic places turn up plenty; empty places may turn up only a few. Copyright belongs to each source. ■ Before you start Requires access to location, camera, and photos, plus an internet connection. The camera only looks backward — hence the minus.
