The “ Illawarra area “ is huge and parts of the illawarra are updated almost every 12 months. When I check your schedule it says “ Illawarra area” this year. I live on the outskirts of a major city and our house has not been updated in about a decade.

This is an extremely useful function, it’s one of the oldest mapping functions that exists, it’s been done on printed maps for I don’t know how many decades or centuries, and if one of the biggest tech companies on the planet can’t get that done with ease, then I think their only possible honest excuse is this: “we don’t want to give the general public certain useful information, because this app is not about empowering people, it’s about making money and keeping the public dumbed down and under control”, because no other excuse would make any sense at all, and yet even this excuse makes no sense since you’ve included latitude and longitude, so what possible other excuse could you have? Pull your heads out of your clackers Google, it’s a basic map function and it doesn’t appear to be in any of your products available to the general public, yet you program vastly more complex functions, so why not give us this extremely basic piece of data? How many years do you need to program something this simple? I’m seriously unimpressed. one such function in particular being the ability to add topographical altitude lines to maps. The reason I give this app only 1 star is because Google is a gigantic company, capable of way better, and this product has been around many years and yet still lacks extremely basic functionality.

After many years, still lacks basic information
