Yeah, our city data is a bit eccentric sometimes. It came from a US government dataset that was originally compiled in the 70´s, and is thus a bit skewed towards things we might have been interested in bombing in the near future.
For that reason, you´ll find every dwelling, rice paddy and waterbull in Southeast Asia clearly labeled, but entire resort towns in Australia might go missing.
They also had a strange concept of political correctness, introducing a country called ¨No Man´s Land¨ in the middle of
Israel
. Jerusalem, by the way, can be found labeled ¨Jerusalem,
Israel
,
West Bank
¨, somewhere towards the bottom of the autocomplete list.
Good luck in the mideast!
