[want to see a satellite view of your property?]--MIDDAY BUSINESS REPORT: Google satellite map service raises privacy concerns By DAVID HAYES posted on Tue, Apr. 05, 2005 The Kansas City Star Programs such as NASA's World Wind have made checking out satellite views of your neighborhood possible. But Google is making it easy. The search engine today unveiled a beta service that allows users to type in an address and see a satellite view of the property. It's the outgrowth of the company's purchase last year of mapping company Keyhole. maps.google.com Available at maps.google.com, users type in an address and receive a detailed map of the location. Clicking on the “satellite” option in the right-hand corner offers a satellite view. It's also available when users type in an address at Google Local. The beta service probably has more wow factor than real-world use, but it still offers neighborhood views for those traveling or looking for real estate. However, privacy concerns also are being raised, especially because Keyhole initially was funded by the Central Intelligence Agency. kansascity.com
