When Google activated Google Maps at the beginning of the century, many, many of us did that of opening and looking for our house – and hallucinating when we saw the roof when we zoomed in and maybe even the car parked outside. Then came the Street View, the view at street level, and we verified that it was possible to see even the portal or the house from outside, and on top of it explore the street with a 360-degree view.
But, isn’t it a bit dizzying to know that someone who knows your address can go into Maps and see the street and the portal perfectly?
Hide my house on Google Maps

- Search among the options and hit Report Problem
- Now a page will open for you to fill in several sections.
- The first thing that comes out is the preview of the image in which you gave it to report, so that adjust focus exactly in the part of the image that you want to blur / erase.
