Google Map

Post by snoop12 »

why cant we see parts of the world or to be more specific parts of Somalia, its really annoying when you zoom-in you sometimes find there is no satellite photo of the area.

the areas of which photos are taken are chosen arbitrarily, you see photos of 1 house right in the middle of nowhere and yet whole cities and towns etc are not on the map :shock: :lol:

is there a way out of this or an alternative to Google map ??
