Apple Maps begins blurring satellite views of NASA, Space Force and Air Force sites, Space Explored reports
Apple Maps appears to have started blurring its satellite imagery of a number of sensitive U.S. government sites, according to a report from Space Explored. Apple has not announced the change or explained it.
Seth Kurkowski of Space Explored says he identified the blurred locations by checking them himself. Among the NASA sites, the airfield at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia is blurred, although its launch pads are not, and Stennis Space Center in Mississippi is also affected. Two Space Force locations, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, are blurred as well.
