I have been using online map and satellite service for long time, mostly Windows Live Maps. But I never realize it were extremely old map I have. I took deep look on map of Pattani, Thailand and suddenly I have seem shrimp Ponds near mouth of Pattani River. Terrible, they never been there for at least five or six years. Those Shrimp Ponds were replaced by dormitory and the new complex building of Faculty of Science and Technology, Prince of Songkla University. Below is the screen I took from Live Maps.
Google Maps (and Google Earth) did the same, only can zoom a bit closer.
I don’t know how you feel when your map never getting updated, something that just a half of decade old. It really annoyed me. And also if the world is just limited to America, it wouldn’t be better Google and Windows Live turn off their service?
Yeah, I know how you feel dude. It always takes long for products from the U.S. But it’s not really hard to understand that their biggest consumers lie within the U.S. Usually other foreign countries usually follow the trends of the U.S. So if the U.S. consumers like it, it’s probable that the other consumers from foreign countries will like it. If U.S. consumers don’t like it, maybe they can fix it up a bit before they release a new one to foreign markets. So the best thing there is to do is wait. Or you could give feedback to Windows Live. On the bottom of the Maps page, there’s a bunch of links and one says feedback. Tell them what you think and they might take notice. Good luck with it.
Thanks Michael,
A bit of my fault is about 8-9 years old not 5-6. Your comment is the way to go and I will send feed back like what I did to other Microsoft’s services.
