Editorial (5 May 2014). "GOOGLE MAPS: KEEPING AN EYE ON ISRAEL". Canadian Jewish News. Retrieved 28 May 2019. Google and other satellite image providers have agreements with governments and their militaries to blur or blot sensitive locations, many of which can be found at the Wikipedia entry "Satellite map images with missing or unclear data."
I thought it was strange there were none listed, so I made some effort to look up a few. Surprisingly, I have not found any yet: the lists people have made online are all coming through in full resolution for me on Google Maps. Area 51, for example, is bright and clear (and quite boring). jp×g02:03, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This page, for example -- literally all of the things here in North America are completely visible in high resolution. Particularly inane is the claim that a random building at the Dugway Proving Ground was "whited out" (at 40.18521, -112.92773) when it's... it's a parking lot. it's a parking lot with white concrete. Come on. You can see the tire tracks. This list is stupid. jp×g02:27, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Campeche Bank, Mexico: One of the blurred regions becomes clear when zoomed in, the other remains black. This seems to be some sort of imaging error, but who knows.
1 Observatory Circle, Washington DC: crystal clear on satellite.
2207 Seymour, Cleveland: crystal clear on satellite.
Auburn Correctional Facility: crystal clear
Amchitka Island, Alaska: Some parts appear to have different resolutions but none are blurred. Patchwork maps are very common in areas like this; satellite map coverage just gets crappier as you move towards the poles of the Earth.
5561 NE Ambleside, Seattle: crystal clear on satellite.
1026 York, Vallejo: crystal clear on satellite.
1554 Walnut Avenue, Antioch: crystal clear on satellite.
112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville: crystal clear on satellite.
