[OSM-Talk-ZA] Google Maps for South Africa

[Adrian Frith]

Hey all,

Since when has Google Maps had the Tele Atlas data for South Africa? I
only noticed it just now. I notice, though, that it's not routable
(yet?) although you can search for street locations. It's nice to see
that Google is paying a bit of attention to South Africa.

I will point out, though, that Google Maps does not yet reflect the
newly opened Claremont Boulevard [1] and the changes that it has caused
in the surrounding streets. Guess who does? Hint: see [2].

Cheers,
Adrian
