Aerial imagery doesnt normally have a street map overlayed, and when it does, just ask google if theres any privacy issues when it comes to high detail aerial photos. I do agree with John though, about the firefighting aspect of it. Some areas around here have 'SW' (Static Water) markers on the nature strip to indicate a pool or other static water supply is available, for example so firefighters can fill their tanker in an emergency. When the Canberra bushfires came through, a house in our street was lost because we lost water pressure, we didnt know there was a large inground pool out the back or we might have been able to make a difference, so Ive always had an interest in marking these, but also understand the privacy issue.
