If everything remained okay then technology is all set to catch you at your backyard and it will going to be succeeded by new spy-in-the-sky-technology. Yes tech giant Google and Apple are in the race to come up with aerial maps which will help in coming dream true.

Sources says that Google has claims that says it has already sent planes over cities while Apple has acquired a firm using spy-in-the-sky technology that has been already tested on at least 20 locations, including London.

Meanwhile Apple has also in the race for the same field and its camera are understood to be so powerful they could potentially see into homes through skylights and windows. The technology is similar to that used by intelligence agencies in identifying terrorist targets in Afghanistan.

Google will also use its spy planes to help 3D maps with much more details than its satellite derived Google Earth images.

The next generation of maps is taking us over the garden fence," he warned. "You won't be able to sunbathe in your garden without worrying about an Apple or Google plane buzzing overhead, taking pictures.

Google expects by the end of the year to have 3D coverage of towns and cities with a combined population of 300 million. It has not revealed any locations so far.
