San Salvador, El Salvador was updated too with 3 maps instead of one. The odd thing is one of them is at least 5 years old.
The first map that was small but 2 years old is not available anymore. Bad bad.

Excellent. It'll be cool to see what new sights show up.

BTW, the opera house isn't more visible in Maps, just Earth (it appears).

Are you sure about the update concerning Maps at all?

Wow. Just found Seartu, China, by floating around. You gotta check it out. It's a large oil and mineral production city... mindboggling.

Harbin is the major inland city in the northeast portion of Cina (between the Korean Peninsula, Mongolia and Russia). Saertu is NW of Harbin on the rail line. Enjoy.
