Harder to fathom is where sections of streets are missing, signified by gaps in the blue lines that appear when you click on the yellow Street View icon in Google Maps. One is where a building has been blurred, which poses little problem for Street View explorers and is almost certainly due to a privacy request. There are two types of gaps, broadly speaking. "We've so far prioritized refresh of the bulk of the Street View imagery for our users, and we are certainly also working to fill these occasional gaps." "In places where we collected very early Street View imagery, the old data may sometimes cause an issue that prevents new images from surfacing," the company said via email. But it refused to answer questions beyond that, including whether privacy requests are a factor, and whether the gaps are becoming more frequent. Google called the gaps a "known issue" and implied it's due partly to a glitch in its early mapping software.
