SEOUL, Nov 13 (Reuters) – South Korea’s government said on Friday that Google has removed latitude and longitude coordinates for South Korean territory from Google Maps and Google Earth, one of the security conditions attached to a permit granted in February to export high-resolution map data.
Google Street View imagery inside and around all military and security facilities on South Korean territory will also be deleted, said an inter-agency press release.
The government said it planned to suspend or revoke the permit if serious breaches of the conditions occurred.
