I didn't realize how much of the world Google had mapped... It seems like just last year that Seattle wasn't even included yet...

  On the contrary, I'm amazed at just how much of Africa is South Africa. Out of maybe a dozen tries, I have had one African hit that was not in South Africa, and that was a Spanish-owned island off the coast of the Sahara.

    Sampling bias. Try normal Google Maps, zoom out to see the whole world. Drag yellow StreetView dude, you will see blue overlay showing StreetView coverage (ignore isolated dots, these are Panoramio photos). You will see that South Africa is the only place in Africa with coverage.

      Right, that was my point. I was trying to be ironic with my claim that all of Africa is South Africa.

    Ok, so maybe not the world. But I'm still impressed by the amount of north america/europe that is mapped.
