Much is being made of Google's addition of the South Sudan name and border to its maps. What seems to be missing from much of the coverage is that we got there on 9 July. That said, we are missing a point of dispute, in that the area around Abyei is claimed by both states - an internet to anyone who has the requisite data to mark said area on the map.

Here's an explanation why Google supposedly delayed in adding the border in Google Maps/Google Earth: http://ogleearth.com/2011/07/mapping-south-sudans-northern-border-not-so-fast/

That sheds some new light on it. I wasn't aware it had been on Google Earth since late July. I would say something about getting it updated, but Mikel was on the ball right away.
