It's funny that there was such an outcry of privacy panic when people
learned that the July 2009 survey was going to be taking GPS coordinates.
Especially when all the big companies are already doing the equivalent by
recording at least the GPS coordinates of at least the street access. So a
map search for an address today frequently points directly to the house
with a nice satellite and Bird's Eye view.
