Hi, I am looking at maps and google earth and the estate I live in does not appear yet it was developed over 5 years ago even though the copyrights indicate 2010. See attached map for what I can see on the maps, I have marked the areas with red dots. Maybe I am missing something on the settings can you help me see the missing developments? Regards PS. It is googles job, or why do you think they are called Google Maps?

Hi, I appreciate that we get the google earth maps for free but is there a way we can get more up to date images of Kenya especially now with the new road network. The current maps are from around 2003
I've just looked at maps.google.co.ke and Google Earth, they both have 2010 copyrights on them (from their sources, not just from Google), and I see construction sites that are around 1 year old, so they are fairly up-to-date. What roads exactly are you missing? which literally makes them
obsolete. Updated images would also make it easier for BrandKenya and the Kenya Tourist Board to better market the country.
