Why is Necker Island in Hawaii blacked out on Google Earth?
In some cases satellite imagery with missing, incomplete, or unclear map data have been intentionally obscured or blacked out. In other cases Google has been requested by government representatives to black out or blur areas or intentionally use out-of-date imagery for security reasons. There are several such areas around the world, and some that are obscured for legal reasons. Necker Island is only a few acres, uninhabited, no buildings- it may be been missed.
Additionally
Unlike other islands Necker Island is privately owned by Sir Richard Branson. Apparently you can ask Google to blur out private property even an entire island.
