Google puts (some of) Britain on the map

Fri, 20 Mar 2009, Steve Firth remarked: And they blur out people's arms, car hubcaps and bits of roadsigns, because they are bored? I suspect road signs because Google seems to have a policy (but a strange one) on advertising. I've mostly been checking out cities in Italy that I know well. On those street scenes the signs most frequently blurred out are the ones that all Italian cities have advertising local businesses. Also they seem to blur out logos of big corporates such as KFC/McDonalds. You seem to have misunderstood what I said. A road sign is something that says "No Waiting", or "High Street". Hubcaps might be the same rule - I've seen some bizarre blurring on vehicles such as headlights on BMWs and rear boot badges on some, but not all, models. I don't think I've ever seen a corporate logo on a hubcap. Other features seem to be blurred by motion, either of the camera or of the subject. Or usually just a blob of inexplicable blurring. -- Roland Perry |
