The latest Google Maps update has revealed the most detailed imagery of cities and terrain for major cities in Taiwan, but has also exposed some of the military's most sensitive sites.
The structures were revealed after Google launched the new function in four major cities – Taipei, New Taipei, Taoyuan, and Taichung.
The images are so clear that facilities for US-made Patriot missiles, including the types of launchers and models of the missiles, can now be seen.
Taiwan’s Defense Minister Yen Te-fa said Saturday that a task force had been formed to work with Google to seek appropriate adjustments to ensure national security was safeguarded.
