BUFFALO, NY--  With the Google Maps car being spotted around Western New York, some people wonder how they can remove their face or license plate from the website.

1.  Go to the Google Maps website, and find the photo you think you're in.

2.  Click on the "Report a Problem" link.  It will be at the bottom of the photo when you are in Street View.

3.  From there you will get a form that will allow you to report why you want the image removed or blurred.  The form also lets you zero in on the exact spot you have a problem with on the picture.

After you submit the form, the Google team will go over your request.
