Google has dismissed concerns that terrorists are using its free mapping technology to help them carry out attacks.
The head of Google Earth said the program, which allows users to get a detailed bird's eye of practically any location on the planet, was not "tipping the balance in favour of the bad guys".
In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, John Hanke said: "The evilness is in the philosophies and the desires of those that want to do evil. They will use the tools at hand to do that, whether it's throwing a Molotov cocktail, or shooting a rifle or using some piece of technology as part of the process."
