So this was new to me. Seems like you can actually request your house be blurred (not sure why you would though).

 

Browsing around the neighbourhood, I found this blurred house.

 

 

 

The blurring makes it stand out substantially from the rest of the houses. If you want privacy, then I am not sure thats the best way to get it..

Some people just over react to Google maps like the government is spying on them or some rubbish

Ironically, the address is still shown on-screen or in Map View ... one could then easily go to the Local Authority Rates lookup for further details, and the Electoral Roll for names etc tongue-out

 Or pile over to somewhere like QV where you can revel in an unblurred vision of its wonderful 70s design

Hey, this is fancy Fergusson Ave in Napier, opposite the beach ... 70's is a way of life there laughing
