    What are you getting so indignant about?
    Did you pay to use Google Maps?
    Did Google promise you that they'd release maps of the whole world?
    Did you sign some sort of promisary contract with Google?

    No?

    Then kindly stfu.

    It's in beta, as you are fully aware. Feel free to comment on it's feature set, provide feedback on what could make it better etc. But do you really think they don't realize it's not complete? What's beta for?

    Get off your high horse and come back when you aren't just coming up with unreasonable crap to bitch about.

    Guess everyone really has forgotten what happened in the last dot.com boom?
