Maps for getting around in daily life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But despite its handiness, the platform&#8217;s panoramic street views may risk revealing private information about your home that might not be wanted online. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the past, publicly accessible mapping tools have been deemed &#8216;useful&#8217; to criminals planning attacks &#8211; from burglary to terrorism.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Google Maps itself also pixelated the home of Apple&#8217;s chief executive Tim Cook last year following stalking concerns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But some may be pleased to know that blurring out what&#8217;s not wanted online is easily accessible to all using the Google Maps website.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter

the option to blur out faces, your home, cars and other personal details<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To do this, users can search for their home address on the computer using Google Maps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A photograph of your home should then appear, which can be clicked on to present a close-up street view of the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If there are details that you would like to be blurred, click the three small dots that should be in the top left corner of the Google view.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This gives the option to &#8216;Report a Problem&#8217; which, when clicked on, allows users to record an inappropriate street view.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Requests can be put forward to blur faces, homes, cars, license plates or different objects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It also gives the chance to tell Google if there are any issues with image quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The only details required to put in about yourself is an email address. <\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter
