For those looking for the inside view of those super cool military bases using Google Maps Street View then your plans have been thwarted! The Pentagon has announced the ban of Google Earth teams driving on their bases to make a detailed street-level video map.
All of the Defense Department bases and installations around the country received the message to not allow the Google teams on their facilities.
Michael Kucharek, spokesman for U.S. Northern Command, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the decision was made after crews were allowed access to at least one base. He said military officials were concerned that allowing the 360-degree, street-level video could provide sensitive information to potential adversaries and endanger base personnel.
