Consider using Fusion Tables; the displayed maps are tiles, and so the
lat/lng is not in the javascript.

Obviously, you would need to use javascript to limit zoom; concealing
the lat/lng does no good at all if you can zoom in close enough to
locate the parcel containing the address.  Even then, someone familiar
with javascript can disable that and get to the fusion table itself
(which has to be public).

If that isn't enough for you, you could "round off" each lat lng.
This will have the effect of converting your lat/lngs into "box"
addresses, with the size of the box determined by how many digits you
round to.  Keep in mind Rossko's comment about rural dwellers; your
"box" may sometimes contain only a single address.
