[kictanet] Google Earth Maps Update

[robert yawe]

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?

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?

Why is this Google's job?
