I am a business owner in South Africa. Myself - and many other according to the various Google Groups - want to know when Google Maps for South Africa will be updated (e.g. to street level, directions) to the level that it is in other more 'developed' markets. This is important for marketing our businesses, especially in light of 2010 World Cup. However it seems to be impossible to speak to Google SA directly. I can't find any way of contacting them directly. Instead, they ask you to post questions in their groups, but these seem to never be answered, but rather are used only to understand general customer need. How do I get a direct answer from Google SA to a simple question? Thanks. Rob Hi. I am a business owner in South Africa.

Perhaps by the rest of Africa or what has gone before, but let's be realistic, until ICASA and Telkom sort their shit out we may as well carry on watching DSTV and WWF! A boom by whose standards?
