    How long before Streetview updates appear on the web?
    They were recently remapping an area and 'got' me 3 times in about an hour.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Some government buildings are blocked or blacked out as well. You can ask Google to block houses out too.

    That's actually a common misconception. Virtually no government building (even down to UKSF bases) are not obscured from either maps or street view. To obscure or block out makes them a higher target than just leaving them there.

    no it's not blurred, it just looks like the point at which the camera shot changes direction

    Oneyorkshirelass, I have read on popular vehicle forum that when google street was first available to view there was an upsurge in stolen vehicles such as classic VW Camper's, sports cars etc. I even remember one newspaper article where the owner of a Motor home that was stolen from his drive was able to help police catch him because the street car came past just as they were taking the wheel lock off :j
