Either click on the picture of it in the upper-left corner of Google Maps to summon Street View, or click on the little person in the lower-right corner and drag the body onto the street. Street View in Google Maps is simply a 360-degree eye-level view of the world, much like standing inside the map and looking around. Bringing your map to life, one image at a time. To get started with the digital blurring, pull up Google Maps on your computer and enter your home address. “…maybe you’re worried about an online stalker, maybe you don’t want strangers peering in your windows, or maybe you value privacy for its own sake and simply don’t think Google should have indexed and digitised photos of your home available for all to see.” I realise I’m taking a bit of a joking tone when describing this technique, but as Mashable reports, there are plenty of legitimate reasons why you might want to blur your living space: It’s that big of a deal and, yes, it’s a really shitty “prank” to pull on someone else.
I also believe this request persists even if, or when, Google takes new Street View images of your area. I’m not sure Google even makes exemptions if you’re the new owner of a house that was previously blurred you can try, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Simply copy and paste the dynamically updated page’s URL to share the resulting instant street view panorama. Once you elect to blur your address, you can’t unblur it. Here are the steps to get and share the Google Maps Street View panorama of any place on earth: Enter the address or the GPS coordinates of the location of your choice. There’s also one big caveat if you use it.
