It'll be a while till an Austrlian version comes out because of our low population density and our lack of population(compared to other countries).

And slightly disturbing at that.
Yes, I don't think the average joe would be given access to real time positions of anywhere in the world that the map system covered. It would be a privacy/security risk. Plus then, there'd be no need for spy sattellites if Intelligence Agencies could just use google maps :p

Well the download for the program is 200mb or something. And then you have to download maps piece by piece and if you're on a slow connection that it'll take a while.
