    Although we can access morrocco on Google earth from uk, why are parts of the country pixalated in blocks covering just a few square miles. Does this mean they are sensitive areas for national security?

  • I don’t think that this is fair with moroccans and people living in morocco, i found your url on Google, thanks for such a wonderful web site and the useful information, a fellow webmaster.
