Nals, I love maps, and I love the satelite stuff too....but did you notice in the PUCMM photo that there is no field house...i walked it just a few days ago, and there is what looks like an athletic field house, that is already completed, and they were doing grounds work on.

Plus the airport does not have jet bridges installed....showing that the photos are close to a year old or more...the hotel has been under contrcution for 5 years now.

I cant wait for them to put out new photos of the area where my GF lives...right now it is way way out of focus. to the extend you cant even use the last 3 or 4 zooms Google offers..

I hope they soon do the Moca-Baqu? Arriba-Salcedo area and a complete re-done of the entire city of Santiago.

The photos of Santiago and the Vega Real are dated. Many details makes it clear that they are not current. For example, the HOMS Hospital and the Gran Cibao hotel are already painted and from the autopista Duarte look practically finished, as far as the facades are concerned. In the satelite pictures, its obvious that the HOMS was still in its mid-construction stage and the same goes for the Gran Cibao Hotel.

But, those are minor details. More importantly would be for them to take shots of the areas which are not in focus.
