Fort Sam Houston: We Have a Problem With Google Street View
The U.S. Defense Department has banned Google's digital-mapping vehicles from all its military installations.
The move, which was announced yesterday, was precipitated after detailed photographs of Fort Sam Houston appeared on Google Maps.
The Los Angeles Times' Jessica Guynn reports that A message sent to all Defense Department bases and installations late last week warned officials not to allow Google vehicles access.
"We don't have any issues regarding Google and their products, which are very useful tools," Guynn notes Ross as saying. "But the Street View provides clear imagery of control points, barriers, headquarters and security facilities that pose a risk to our force-protection efforts."
Google, apologized for an error in collecting the data, and has taken down the images.from Google Maps.
But you know what? Maybe I am the first to realize this, but as I show you in the grab at the top of this post, Fort Sam Houston is still pretty clear on Google Earth.
