Why are some areas all blurred out on Google earth?

Question

Like where I live in UK RM15 6TU?
Adjacent areas come up perfectly!

WHOEVER IS DISSING THE ANSWERS IT IS NOT ME.

But I guess there will always be some humourless spoon in every box of cutlery.

Answer 1

for security purposes i would assume.

Answer 2

There must be a military base or missile silo or something in there. You live there, what's the most secret thing in the blurred area that you know?

Or sometimes the airplanes take nice huge clear pictures of everywhere around and didn't bother to come back again just for the little spot that was missed. So it's only satellite there. And one farm looks like 5 pixels wide. You were in that spot.

Note, this is not likely if you live in a city. It's areas in the countryside that are not likely to have had airplanes fly over them.

Secret blurring is usually the same color, while
looking-at-satellite-images- at-airplane-scale blurring has straight edges and is a different color, because it was taken by a different camera.

Answer 3

The source that Google Earth got the pictures from doesn't have an up to date picture of those areas. They have lower resolution pictures, but not the higher resolution pictures of most large cities and surrounding areas. Give it some time and the images will eventually be updated.

Answer 4

Google Earth uses aerial photographs from a variety of sources, and some of them are higher resolution than others. Typically, they concentrate on getting high-resolution pictures of major population centers. Over time, they upgrade some of the outlying areas too, so keep checking back, you may eventually see your house show up.

Answer 5

i think of the government regulates particular aspects that are no longer allowed to be photographed above a definite selection. i comprehend there's a great spot like that close to the D.C. section it extremely is blurred out, probable to hide up some government development. i grow to be as quickly as using a distinctive satellite tv for pc imaging internet site (I forget what it grow to be referred to as) and that that they had the Capital development all blurred out. in basic terms yet another government rule and regulation.

Answer 6

Google Earth is not a live satellite view, or even an archived satellite view. It is a library of satellite and aerial images, and they don't have equally good images for all parts of Earth in their library. It is just incomplete coverage of Earth at the highest resolution.

Answer 7

I think ijanier got it right when he mentions large density of population, though I think large areas of industrialization could also be the correct answer. I can't see jack for where I live because it's rural, but looking at my mate's house I can almost make out the registration on his car (not quite but you get what I mean).

Answer 8

There are clouds and stuff when the satellite takes the picture also the time of day and lighting affect the picture if you look at it you can see patches of the pictures taken at different lighting conditions pictures of NY look allot better than Mongolia

Answer 9

Just the sattelite imaging for that area hasn't been updated with a decent shot!!

There are alternatives, try www.flashearth.com it's a lot simpler to use, and no instillation required!!

Answer 10

Because the satillete can not get in far enough, or did not get a good image take at that time of the day when it took it.

Answer 11

It's a conspiracy! The government(s) are forcing Google to censor or block certain geographical areas from public view and for what reason? Who knows?
