Until fairly recently, yes, the legal situation prohibited any kind of effective private mapping. That changed, continuing legal protection to designated security installations.
The change is imho not well understood, just as it is not for photographs of monuments. Despite the fact that a serving military chief (air chief) went on record to say, in effect, that he found public mapping inconsequential from a military standpoint, as both sides had access to public information about each other, every now and then some mealy-mouthed character will get up on hind legs and bray about security. -- Vickram Fool On The Hill communicall.wordpress.com "The cameras were all around.
