My speculation is they have a contract to get copies of non-exclusive
arial imagery done for other customers. So coverage depends on what
others are willing to pay for. Most big cities have such customers,
small towns are less likely to have anyone willing to pay enough to
make doing it worthwhile. (Also, frequency of updates will be random.)
