• By clicking on it, another tab with a menu opens in the browser, in which we have, first of all, a miniature street view with a red rectangle; We need to move the view so that what we want to hide (for example, a car) is inside the rectangle.
• Then Google asks for more details: if what we want to blur is a face, the front of a house, a car or its license plate, or some other object.
• We can also make an error claim if the photo is bad or the information provided is incorrect.
