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? A road sign is something that says "No Waiting", or "High Street". sigh In Italy road signs also say "Hotel Miramare 800M " or point to other local businesses. I was looking at the UK maps, and road signs saying things like "No Waiting" and "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.

Well, done. They are corporate logos. However, the wheels I've seen blurred don't have logos on them. Other features seem to be blurred by motion, either of the camera or of the subject. Or usually just a blob of inexplicable blurring. Some of it seems to be an artefact of stiching the 360 degree image together. Yes, there are some of those as well. -- Roland Perry |
