Google Maps mashup for Buenos Aires, Argentina

Unlike Brazil, Argentina is not a country that enjoys Google street and road maps on Google Maps yet. That hasn't stopped Dalton over at OhBuenosaires.com from creating a cool virtual tour of his vibrant and exciting world city. Select a district from the menu the top of the map, then view photos at each location for reference. Most of the mashup is in Spanish but you can still navigate and explore the map and photos without needing to understand the language. Dalton also has a really great photo blog that shows some very interesting pictures from around Buenos Aires as well.

Google maps Argentina a fiasco?
According to Alberto Arebalos in an interview five months ago (http://tecnologia.infobaeprofesional.com/notas/62059-Llegan-las-versiones-argentinas-de-YouTube-y-Google-Maps.html), Google maps for Argentina would be launched by the first half of this year, well... July is almost gone and nothing happened, besides, I'm getting tired of excuses from Google. Should we try pushing MSN or other companies to get what we need?
Please, stop talking and do something about it.

I'm pretty tired of waiting google maps in argentina. Latest oficial news was they were looking for a good map supplier. Clarin.com has a great platform for maps. What if they just hire those guys ?

There is news there of Live maps adding map data for Argentina - perhaps that will help to spur Google on.
