I have tried this and he's right...   David Stewart

The following information was sent to me this morning.  I am providing it to
you FYI.  After trying it myself, I can verify the information is correct.
Google has implemented a new feature wherein you can type someone's
telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and then you will be
given a map to their house.

Before forwarding this, I tested it by typing my telephone number in
google.com. My phone number came up,  and when I clicked on the MapQuest
link, it actually mapped out where I live. Please look up your own number.
Read below for details.

Think about it--if a child, single person, ANYONE gives out his/her phone
number, someone can actually now  look it up to find out where he/she lives.
It's just another privacy issue I have a problem with.

To test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: Google
<http://www.google.com/

Type your phone number in the search bar with or without dashes (i.e.
555-555-1212 or 5555551212) and hit enter.

If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply
click on the telephone icon next to  your phone number. I removed my name,
but it takes 48-hours. If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not
be in there, but it is a good idea just to check.

Please forward this information on to friends and family that would like to
remove this information from google.
