I'm concerned about my privacy. Are your satellite images real-time?
We understand your privacy concerns and can assure you that the satellite images on Google Local are taken from a variety of commercial and public resources and are not real-time in nature. The images that Local displays are no different from what can be seen by anyone who flies over or drives by a specific geographic location.
