    Question about Google Maps.....

    I use Google Maps a lot, and I know they blur license plates and peoples faces when showing "street view", but today while checking out an area where we we going to a funeral mass, I saw where they totally blurred a house. Being curious, I drove past it and didn't see anything strange about it. Anyone know why they would do this?

    Some people do not want their house shown on Google Maps for privacy reasons.

    Very interesting! I have used Google Maps and Mapquest for years because I go to people's homes to pick up packages in my shipping business and find that knowing the layout of the drive, porch, garage, etc. often alerts me to any difficulties I may have with the heavy boxes. This is the first time I have seen a house blurred out.

    It's the first time I have seen a house blurred out too, and I use Google Maps every week, I was on it earlier today. I think it does more good than harm, at least I hope.

    How strange ... one year when I looked at our place on streetview I saw me standing on the lawn yelling with my hands in the air and my cats were chasing a tiny Fox terrier down our street ... hilarious!!
