Google Earth and Washington D.C
Google Earth has always been the most popular tool for exploring the famous cities of the world and especially used to spot the beautiful monuments and buildings of the world. Google is very careful regarding the security of any nation. They always make it sure by not uploading the images on Google Earth which can exploit the privacy of any nation.
When Google started collecting the data of the Washington D.C., it went through some careful measures to safeguard the privacy of the capital of the United States of America. It had two paths to walk upon, one was to use the outdated images, which were not that much detailed and the other was to use the most recent and the newest images, which were more detailed. The only constraints which they had to face in the latter were to make the images of the White House and the Capital Hall a little blurred. Google chose the latter option as it helped Google Earth to give away more facilities to the users in viewing more detailed images.
