Google Maps Spies On Cat

Google Maps Cat Photo

It didn’t take long for the new Street View feature of Google Maps to cause a stir. A user at Boing-Boing has posted that she managed to find her apartment. In fact, if provides a rather clear look into her window, and shows her cat minding its own business. She mentions that she is concerned about her privacy, and will look into getting her apartment window shot removed from Google Maps.

As others have pointed out, it seems rather strange for someone to post the exact location to the shot. Presumably, one could get her location on the planet with this, and take more photos of her cat.

Hey, with any luck Google Maps will be able to turn up Jimmy Hoffa.

    The only people that are worried are privacy are the people doing bad stuff. Maybe we can catch a terroist with this new technology.
