A map, at least as far as I understand it (other please correct me if you
think otherwise), generally does not include a photo. It generally
just contains roads, boundaries, perhaps topo lines, etc... An aerial
photo is something completely different and it wasn't until recently
that the two were put together. So, no, I didn't misunderstand you.
You just apparently don't understand the concept of a map versus
an aerial photo. And, in fact, MSN specifically does not call it a
map. It calls it an "Aerial Photo". If you click on the "Road Map"
link, it removes the photo. So, as I said before, their maps are
up to date, but the aerial photo is not.
