  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.
