The Google Earth team is banned by the Pentagon that they are not allowed to make detailed street-level video maps of U.S. military bases. All officials of Defense Department bases and installations around the country has received a message from higher authorities that do not give permit to the mapping web site from taking panoramic views inside the facilities.

U.S. Northern Command spokesman told The Associated Press on Thursday 6 March that the decision was made after crews were allowed access to at least one base. He said military officials were concerned that allowing the 360-degree, street-level video could provide sensitive information to potential adversaries and endanger base personnel. According to Pentagon protesters used Google Earth to help plot their access to the roof of the Parliament building in London.
