Tagzania Blog | News and Announcements

After a couple of recent updates in the Google Maps imagery roadmaps and streetplans are now visible in Tagzania in many countries.

In Asia, these countries now have roadmaps: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belize, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Myanmar, Mongolia, Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Timor-Leste, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen. Roadmaps are just very limited in Bhutan and Mongolia, but there's decent coverage in many other countries. In the Philippines, the capital Manila gets certain avenues drawed as well, and then there's Kuwait, where streetplans are good. Examples:

• A skyscrapper in Kuwait (detailed)
• Malacañang Palace in Manila (detailed)

Previously, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, India and the United Arab Emirates got streetplans and maps (also address search in some cases). So this leaves just Israel and the Palestinian territories, Malaysia and both Koreas unmapped in Asia, we believe. If the Caucasus is Asia, then Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are absent as well.

In the Americas, lots of countries get an update (exceptions: Argentina and several Caribbean countries, most notably Jamaica and the Dominican Republic).



Best coverage is for Mexico, Venezuela and Bogota. A good bunch of cities in those countries gets streetplans. This is the list for Colombia, for instance: Bogota, Cali, Medellin, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga. Roadmaps for the whole country and streetplans in several cities are visible in this set: Chile (Santiago and Valparaiso with streetplans), Costa Rica (San Jose), Cuba (Havana), Ecuador (Quito, Cuenca, Guayaquil), El Salvador (San Salvador), Guatemala (the capital), Haiti (Port-au-Prince), Honduras (Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula), Panama (Colón, Panama conurbation), Uruguay (Montevideo),  Nicaragua (Managua with streetplans, as well as other cities like León or Masaya, but with no names on the plans).

There are also streetplans in other countries, but limited to the capital: no any other roadmaps in those countries. This happens in the Bahamas (the island of New Providence, with the capital Nassau well mapped, the rest in white), Peru (the area around Lima), Paraguay (Asunción the capital) and Bolivia (La Paz only).

Examples from the Americas:

• The borderline between the US and Mexico, in Tijuana (detailed). Previously just the north was mapped.
• The Capitol in Havana, Cuba (detailed).
• The Government House in Nassau, Bahamas (detailed)

The oversees territories of Aruba and Bermuda also get street maps and finally, in Oceania, a few roads got mapped in Papua New Guinea, like the Kokoda Track that crosses the island.
