    Observatory Circle in Washington DC (US VP's gaf) suffers from similar pixelation, as do many of the former President's homes and I think Camp David too. I'm not sure how to upload the .kmz files but go to 38.9 78.1 to see observatory circle

    cheers, those coordinates were metric guesstimates. yeah, pretty strange at first sight, not quite sure why there's such concern over publishing these images considering how they aren't shown in realtime or anything!

    It's to prevent terrorists from getting information from GOOGLE. Sure they can get it from other sources but not GOOGLE.
